Corfu - OK? Fair Enough

Brent Park Cricket Club prepare for the opening ceremony of their new pitch and pavilion. Mim has arranged a big surprise for Rog. Unfortunately disaster strikes when the hiding place proves to be a little too secure, but one way or another arrangements are made to ensure that the cricketing legend is able to cut the ribbon.
