"PLAY BALL!" The British Way! The British have always been a sports loving people and
their venerable national pastime of cricket holds a special place in their hearts just as baseball does
in the hearts of Americans.

Visitors to this year's British Bash in Terrell on November 9 will have an opportunity to
personally experience this aspect of British culture by joining in the short, informal,
cricket games that American cricket player and author, Tom Melville, will be conducting
throughout the day.

The activity is open to everyone. Absolutely no experience required! So come and
discover what "play ball" means to the British people.

Thank you to our British Bash sponsors: Platinum Collection of car dealerships and Pediatrics Kare Klinic, Pllc
