The long-rumoured water source underneath Arbo was today rediscovered by the club President. Using a shovel and a 'hose fitting bought from Homebase for 2 quid', the Pres has ensured that the spring flows once more.
The healing powers of the water from the Arbo Spring are legendary: it has allowed several Crossers to continue to play long after most cricketers have been forced to retire. Drinking large quantities is not advised; better to immerse the diseased or injured part of your body in it-ideally whilst reciting the club motto. The spring may also prove useful for pitch preparation.

A shovel? That was a Spear and Jackson stainless steel ergonomic garden spade. Call yourself a groundsman?
ReplyDeleteAnyway it was only a partial success. I was drilling for cider.
Spade! Alcohol!! Hidden underground chamber!!! Is this where El Prez buries the bodies? That list of missing crossers in full:
