On Saturday former HRB member Neale Adams helped Dave Leonard wake the hospital up, Neil Ogden and Harry Robinso continued the entertainment and Steph Weston was joined by Faye Jones for the sport.  

The weather on Friday was warm Little did we know what was about to happen.  With a crash of thunder at 6.30 on Sunday morning, the ground was covered in 4 inches of snow in 30 minutes!
