International Food Festival 2011

Held every year the day before Mother´s Day in Jardin Plaza Shopping Center in the passages outside Carrefour, many Brits were present helping the British Community Food Stand. Curried Chicken (both spicy and not), scones, trifles, apple pies and lots of other home made delicacies flew off the shelves just at the delicious smell. And was it HOT which helped to sell a great deal of cold beer and iced tea. 15 countries were represented, most wearing their national dress. Quite a spectacle!!

 Tremendous crowds visiting the many stands to raise money for charity.

 The architects of the British Stand, Catalina Valenzuela, Olga Lucia Villa and Nana Holguin.

Three generations of Martins. Peter, Paola and Samuel (and one on the way for later this month)

Cali Cricket Club Match April 30 2011

We gathered for a wonderfully sunny afternoon of cricket at the Colegio Colombo Britanico in Pance under the tutelage of Dennis Jarvis and Tony Carter. Fielding practice was essential to prepare for the BIG match against the Bogota Sports Club on the first weekend in June. Everybody batted and most bowled and we now have the makings of a very acceptable team.

A very respectable turnout of cricketers and support team, Even a new born was introduced to us.

Way to go Raj! You put some excitement into the team.

Who is this very tall skinny Irish lad that has not appeared for over four years at the cricket? Well it´s Peter, no less!!

A wonderful couple with their new addition!! Congratulations to you both!!!

Tony loves to spin them down the pitch!!

I personally like the full colour. What about you?

Cali Cricket Club April 9 2011

A very enjoyable afternoon was had by all, with just about everyone getting a decent 4 overs of batting before the rain finally intervened at around 5pm.  The incoming storm clouds made the ball quite difficult to see by that point!  

A few 'Champagne Moments' to note, John hit a few wonderful sixes, Jaq gave us a very good spell of tight and accurate bowling and Janet's tea time snacks were as good as ever, all positive signs for the upcoming game against Bogotá, which should be taking place on the Puente weekend of the 4th and 5th June.  A whole weekend of events is being lined up to mark the occasion...should be a cracker in Cali!

Motley crew, No! This is Cali´s finest!

 You never know when you might need a little liquid refreshment

 Jaq: Star all rounder!!!

 And there it was!! And there it´s not!!! Bowled middle stump

 Fresh from the sands of Algeria.....not a moment too soon
