The 2005 FAS Annual Dinner was held on February 17, at the Cricketers' Club in London. There were -- or were to have been -- twelve attendees, but instead it was reduced to just an FAS XI as Alex Stone (who else?) found himself in Lourdes instead. (Rumours that he got confused with Lord's cannot be confirmed.) The eventual attendees were Baz and Joss Dare, Steve Frost, Geoff Hales, Mikes Harrop and Sheil, Mark McLoughlin, Harry Stevens, Jim Streeter and Joe ``check out my new FAS blazer'' White, and it is believed that a good time was had by all.
