And you get a train ride to your peg

or least you used to

I booked it for a knock up few years back but never told anyone where the venue was.

So so they followed me in convoy, other's I'd told we'd meet at the Hollybush.

Made everyone get their gear out the cars. 'Where's the pool' everyone was asking.

A not very helpfull 'over there' was my response. One of the guys quipped ' Bet we've gotto catch the kiddie model train to it'

5 minutes later the guy rolls up and say's 'all aboard' - you should have seen their faces.

Can't remember how many pegs - about 20 (?) we did the draw and a load of beafy blokes complete with tackle sat in the little carriages.

Off we went............best bit was going through a tunnel and you had to 'dip' your holdalls to get through.

The train then dropped everyone off at their pegs...........and picked us up at the end
