The 11th year of The Touchline Society brings grave concern Touchline Society in shock to the system
The day began with the usual array of misunderstandings;
who is going to what, where is the bus, where is Bob! After some time, we
were on our way and this time we are moving up market. For the first time, a
car park ticket It was a case of cans of beer, sweaty sandwiches and sheltering from the pissing rain as the match time drew closer. Some of the members had been given the chance to dine with the "in crowd" in the corporate hospitality tents. But, they didn't have as good a time as we did because they were warm and seated in a nice comfortably furnished tent eating warm food. Our lunch was significantly better as we sheltered in the mini-bus from a rainstorm, shivered when the winds came and ate our cold sausage rolls and drank our wine from the bottle. They just didnt know what they were missing!
The purpose of the Touchline Society is to have a good day out watching a good game of rugby. This year, for the first time ever, we had a good day out, but didnt see a good game of rugby. In fact, we saw a game of rugby which would mean that England lost at Twickenham for the first time for decades after playing like a bunch of amateurs against Ireland. All in all a good day tempered (badly) by a crap performance by the RWC champions.

The
11th year of the Chinnor RFC Touchline Society trip to
Twickenham was eagerly awaited by all members. Going to HQ
to see the new Rugby World Cup Champions appear at "fortress
Twickenham" for the first time since they finally shut the
Aussies up was an event not to be missed. How strange it is
sometimes when your expectations are not met.
was purchased which allowed us to stand in the wet and rain on the carpark
at Twickenham; rather than the warmth of the pub! 
Some
new members came this year and they dealt with the banter of the crowd very
well; although I dont think they understood much of what was said to be
perfectly honest.
