Civilised war was waged between the Anglos and Celts on Saturday. The cross borders invaders were led by Neil Henderson and resisted by Martin Butlin's merry men. Before "hostilities" the assembled forces were "serenaded"  by the pipes with the Anglos setting off to the tune of Jerusalem. The battle was won by the Celts but the war continued at a very convivial Dinner. Long may this friendly rivalry continue.
