MARCH 2008
Albir L'Alfas Del Pi Spain
A depleted party of Nomads completed an enjoyable visit to Sporting Alfas in March. Nomads won two games very easily but the strong batting line up floundered on Saturday for the 'big' game. On Monday, short of four players who failed to turn up, Nomads lost a closely contested game in which Katrina and Helen played.
Katrina & Jack Hyams Katrina Barter and Allan Hartley leave the field March 17th Vince, Julian & Helen
Nomads won two matches and lost two.

George Wambeke arranged with Muhamad Shafiqe Ali for 4/5 Valencia players to join us.This they did for three matches but failed to appear for the fourth without advising us so the girls played and a spectator which sadly effected the match result though the day was very enjoyable. Many thanks for helping us out the first three days and many thanks to Helen,Katrina and Allan.

Nomads dined well in Albir, Altea and Moreira and the Benidorm freaks continued their love affair with that perversely located north English entertainment centre. Jack Hyams aged 88 played in two matches. A waitress at the King's Food Fandango restaurant/pub considered Jack at least 70 years young!
