In the year of the Millennium, the chosen match at Twickenham was England - Wales - this was the one when England absolutely pummeled the Welsh into the ground and Laurence D. (we're not worthy scored the most brilliant of tries)

As the members leave Chinnor, it is obvious that they are very thoughtful. Bob is thinking "Will I get lost again this year?"

The others are staying close by Bob because this would the the THIRD year on the trot that he became dis-connected from the Society causing great concern to all the members as we looked vainly around the streets of Twickenham for our lost member!

As the Society day starts to get going, its older members can be seen here advising one of the young, upcoming Society colts on how to drink beer and eat Chocolate Hobnobs at the same time.

One of our more vocal members raises his arms and screams "There's only one Touchline Society" A member of the club committee looks on in disbelief as the battle song brings everyone to their feet. Other members of the society smile as they think of what will most probably happen after 20 pints!

We're at the ground now and look who we find trying to infiltrate the Society - some guy with a flat cap and funny ears. A chorus of "Puddy, Puddy" echoes around the stadium.

Half time comes and its out with the Hobnobs again - Society members pay homage to the illustrious Hobnob and enjoy the food prepared lovingly by their wifes.

Unbelievably, Bob gets lost again (THREE YEARS ON THE TROT) and Society members show concern for Bob's whereabouts. These pictures show the concern as we look to the skies for our friend to now avail.

Eventually Bob is spotted wandering around Twickenham with a white "Twickenham shop" plastic bag on his arm (beats the other plastic bags he normally finds!) As Bob rejoins the Society he is welcomed back with open arms

The election of new members is often a violent affair but is settled amicably when DOUGIE HUMPHRIES is officially elected to membership of the Touchline Society.

The big question is "Who is wearing Twickers knickers?" The WebMaster cannot reveal the identity of the Society member due to video filmed evidence of life threatening violence if this picture is ever shown to anyone! These threats should be taken seriously and if ever the WebMaster comes to a strange and painful end, then please ask for the video evidence of the Y2K Touchline Society trip which is stored under lock and key in the shed at the bottom of his garden.

Alternatively, if YOU would like to see a complete un-edited video of the trip, then send £20 to Chinnor Rugby Club for the attention of the WebMaster. Your video will be returned under plain wrapping to ensure that this event is not shown to anyone under the age of majority.
