Fifth
Annual Inter-Party Parliamentary Staff Rounders Competition
3pm in Hyde Park on Wednesday 13 AugustPostponed until Wednesday 27 August
Updated 12 August 2008
Rounders Rained Off until 27 August
The bad weather
has forced the Annual Inter-Party Parliamentary
Staff Rounders Competition due to be held tomorrow
to postponed due to a soggy pitch. It looks like
heavy rain tomorrow afternoon which would make
playing rounders hazardous and also make the picnic
a complete wash out. As such the captains have
agreed that it would be best to postpone the game
until the weather is nicer.
The rounders has
been rearranged for Wednesday 27 August 2008
in two weeks time. The games will be played at 3pm
in Hyde Park with the drinks reception at 7pm at
the Kings Arms in Shepherd Market.
This gives
plenty of time to get practicing so contact your
team captain for more information: Tom Davis
for Labour (davistr@parliament.uk),
Tim Collins for the Conservatives (collinsti@parliament.uk)
or Robbie MacRory for the Liberal Democrats (macroryr@parliament.uk).

Only one week until the Rounders Competition
There’s only seven days
left until the Fifth Annual Inter-Party Parliamentary Staff
Rounders Competition sponsored by
Edelman! The
competition kicks off at 3pm in Hyde Park on Wednesday 13
August with researchers playing for the Rounders Trophy
that the LibDems have won for the last three years.
Can the Tories finally
get their hands on the Rounder title? Will Labour begin
their fight back by triumphing next week? Or will the
LibDems make it four titles in a row?
Don’t forget in addition
to the rounders there’s a special prize for picnic of the
year. The Tories usually win this but let their guard down
last year allowing Labour to show off their spread.
Edelman Public Affairs
are buying the drinks again afterwards at the Kings Arms on
Shepherd Market afterwards from 7pm. Last year over 100
researchers came long to play or support their party in the
rounders and this year we expect even more.
There is still time to
sign up to play for your Party’s teams. Get in touch with
Tom Davis for Labour (davistr@parliament.uk),
Tim Collins for the Conservatives (collinsti@parliament.uk)
or Robbie MacRory for the Liberal Democrats (macroryr@parliament.uk).
