A big thanks to Mel Smith who is an Ex-pat from Swansea living in St Louis, for sending us these photos of the first fixture of our USA tour. Mel is pictured with Snowy on the bottom left photo. Also pictured with Codshead, is Dave Winslett (and wife); Dave played for Llanelli and the All-Whites (then Swansea RFC) in the late '60s.

 

Result: St Louis Ramblers 25 - 43 Pill Harriers.

 

Commiserations to Carl Barnett who dislocated and broke an ankle during the game. Get well soon, Carlo!

 

 

 

 

 

HEre are some photos forwarded by Karen Howells showing poor old Carlo post-injury. The good news is that the medical treatment he received was absolutely first class. Thanks to the medical staff of St Louis!

 

 

 

IMPORTANT! If you are a tourist and you have ever been arrested by the police (this will involve most of us then) you need to apply for a visa at the United States Embassy. This will involve a trip to London the the Embassy. You need to contact them for an appointment and you also need to contact the police station that arrested you where you can retrieve your record. The two tourists who have never been arrested need not worry about this issue.
