Oakhampton Activity Weekend

Off we went last weekend with Gill's badminton club to the Manor House Hotel in Oackhampton - in a round about way. I had to London for a meeting and had to leave shortly after lunch to get to Exeter St. David's for our bus at 5.55pm. Anyway it was bad enough that my train was 15 mins late but Gill's train only arrived 2 min after the bus had departed. Ah well time for a beer and meal in the Imperial (Weatherspoons) at the grand total price of £8.40.
Eventualy got bus to Manor Hourse and arrived 9.30pm for a gathering in the sitting area and to say our hello's. A blissfully relaxing weekend spent swiming, table tennis, carpet bowls, walking on the moors, drinking, and certainly lots of eating. There is ceratinly a larger contingent of young efficient Polish workers at the site who are keen and enthusiastic. What a nice weekend. Thanks to Ros for organising our nice trip. Bus and train back worked well and we went to bed extremely satisfied on the Sunday.
