Even in this ridiculous summer some cricket is being played – yesterday two batsmen made double centuries, Joe Root for Yorkshire and Kevin Pietersen for Surrey. Rain has banjaxed both these fixtures.
Although, as I have already recorded, I think that Marxism 2012 was the best ever, I have two gripes to record: First, the food and drink being provided on site were overpriced and not great quality (though the lunch time picnics provided by the Norwich comrades somewhat mitigated the problems with the food).The other gripe was that a majority of te meetings I attended were disrupted by noise of mobile phones going off – is it really so very difficult to turn the thing off once you are seated (as I was doing)?
All the meetings I attended on the Friday were very interesting, although I was slightly disappointed by the last of them, A Very Short History of God. In my next post, when I cover Saturday, I will go into more detail about some of the meetings.
As usual I have some photos for you…
