The Bakers Arms Trip to Twickenham
Just wanted to say a big thanks to Steve and everyone responsible for organising the coach on Saturday. We all had a great time, really enjoyed the banter all made better by the victory.
A special thanks to Dusty for putting up with my mate calling him Sterling Moss. It wasn't until about an hour later my mate realised who he'd been talking too. I blame the beer...!
Looking forward to Edinburgh already...!
Cheers.

Re: The Bakers Arms Trip to Twickenham
The last time we went on the Baker's coach my mate got verbally abused by some muppet in a Cowboy hat, all because he had bought two seats for himself and my mate sat on one without knowing.
Very 'clicky' crowd too The Baker's lot, we were not made to feel welcome.
Never again...

Went with the Bakers Arms lot to Cardiff for the first time and had a fantastic time, made to feel very welcome. Went to Twicks and going to Edinburgh with them.
Big thanks and well done to Ernie and Steve

Dount it will be me Scouse Tiger. it's gonna be a long old day (I'm leaving home at to get to the Bakers Arms for 6) and I wanna remember as much as possible of my first Heineken Cup Final and first visit to Edinburgh :)
Re: The Bakers Arms Trip to Twickenham
Remember coming out of the airport at Limerick when we beat Munster a bit back. Stood at the bus stop and the Bakers Arms minibus pulls up and offers lifts to me, little fat jack, some more tigers supporters and a Frenchman who thought he was catching the service bus. A very noisy Irishman gave us the low down on the best bars. I also remember they were instrumental in raising a huge amount of money for Matt Hampson with some returned tickets that were auctioned on the local radio. I haven't had a pint in there since 1981 but they are premier league Tigers as far as I'm concerned.

Re: The Bakers Arms Trip to Twickenham
Had my first trip with them on Saturday to twickenham. Had a great time and made my daughter feel very comfortable as she was the only girl on the bus. Would have loved to have made the trip with them this weekend but can't as they fully booked up. Gutted as have our match tickets and probably won't go now as have no transport.

'Noisy Irishman'....I'm shocked, can't mean me surely ...Anyway, did I not put you right on the bars?? We actually raised £11,157. £8000 of it raised by raffling 2 Munster Tigers tickets, on the Munster Rugby Supporters Club site.
On the trip back from Twickers last week we had Dusty Hare on the coach we were able to give him over £300 raised on the bus to add to the money he rose doing his walk. Thanks for all the positive feed back, sorry to hear 1 guy had a bad episode; we actually pride ourselves with not being Cliquey.

Re: The Bakers Arms Trip to Twickenham
We have the Sky cameras in the pub again today from 5.30 onwards, if your popping in make sure you have your colours on. Also the pub has a big day planned for anyone who can't make the trip to Edinburgh itself. Tigers Cocktails, Jugs of ale, good food deals + delightful bar staff Plus plenty of screens to watch the game. I've even been able to arrange great weather for the day.

It's all go here at the Bakers Arms. Just Dusty Hare pop in, handed me a Lions Shirt signed by Cozza, Moody, Ben Kay, Geordan, Harry, & Whitey all Lions players. It will take pride of place in the pub along side the rest of all the Rugby memorabilry on the walls.
