Yes it will be a shame! Who would be up for a game of Whirly Ball that week-end? If you don't know what it is, its a game were you sit in a cart motorized but not by diesel :{ But you have to throw a plastic ball through a hole to score. Let me know and I will try to reserve the court. It is bring your own beer and food.
