We then explored the grounds, walking to the
actual grass cricket pitch, and sat in the stands
whilst everyone asked the tour guide questions.
We also went up to the Pavilion Room, where the
players would wait their turn to go to bat while the
team watched on from the room’s balcony.
This room was very big and we could see on
the board all the names of centurion batsmen
(batsmen that manage a score of 100 runs or more
during the innings). There were paintings around
the walls and I recognised lots of the players.
I told Lisa and Jodie about them, but they weren’t
very interested! Luckily, Brinthan was impressed
with my knowledge and listened attentively.
After the tour we had a quick look in the club shop
before moving on to the Lord’s Tavern pub next
door for an excellent lunch. I had 昀椀sh and chips,
which was fantastic!
I really had a brilliant day and want to thank Ann
Clements and Jodie Walters for organising this.
