Tim and Laura hanging out with Ben Cohen and Alice Hoagland... You know, like you do on a Thursday.

Great picture of Minotaurs club president Tim Lom and our #1 Minofriend Superstar Laura Sandler hanging out with Ben Cohen and Alice Hoagland.

Before retiring from professional rugby last year, Ben most recently played for the Sale Sharks. He currently focuses on his Stand Up Foundation against bullying in sport, and is a hero in the gay rugby community. Alice is the mother of Bingham Cup namesake, Mark Bingham, who was instrumental in bringing what is now IGRAB rugby into being. In addition to being a 'founding father' of gay rugby at the league level, Mark Bingham is also famous for storming the cockpit of United Airlines Flight 93 on September 11, 2001 and heroically foiling what could have been an even more horrific tragedy had the terrorist hijackers succeeded in arriving at their planned destination of Washington DC.

It's a big day for the Minotaurs in Manchester!

This afternoon we will be getting in our last practice session before the tournament begins tomorrow morning. After practice we will take part in the 2012 Bingham Cup Opening Ceremonies at the Great Hall, located in the Manchester Town Hall at Albert Square beginning at 7pm local time. Immediately after the Opening Ceremonies we will be getting together for a final team meeting and dinner at Tim & Steve's room at the hotel.

Sleep well boys - tomorrow's the big day!

Greetings from London

Hope everyone is getting pumped for Bingham! I assume everyone saw the pools for the tournament. We are in Tier 2 with Melbourne, Seattle B (whom we played and beat last Bingham), and San Francisco B. Unfortunately, the polos have not arrived yet from Eastbay so we'll have to wear our team jerseys (which Matt is bringing) at the opening ceremonies. See most of you on Wednesday. Cheers!
