The international theme for the buffet continues with savouries once more from all continents with the addition of a sweets trolley - Belgian Buns, Danish Pastries, Chorley and Eccles Cakes and a Croquembouche par excellence!

For the Rofl:
One and a half oars.
Tennis racquet( minus strings)
set of running spikes
pair of leg warmers (lime green)
