Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

World Cup 2014 LOB Reunion?

Hurrah, we're in a World Cup year, chaps - that means that we need to start talking about possible LOB reunion plans during the games. I thought I'd start this thread so that we can brainstorm some possible idea. Here are the key dates:

Thursday, June 12 - Opening ceremonies and match (Brazil v. Croatia) 4pm EST
Friday, June 13 - Spain v. Holland 3pm
Saturday, June 14 - England v. Italy (cor!) 6pm
Sunday, June 22 - US v. Portugal 6pm
Saturday, June 28 - Group C1 (Colombia, Japan, Ivory Coast or Greece) v. Group D2 (possibly England) 4pm
Sunday, June 29 - Group D1 (possibly England?) v. Group C2 (Colombia, Japan, Ivory Coast or Greece) 4pm
Tuesday, July 1 - Group H1 (Belgium, Korea, Russia or Algeria v. Group G2 (USA?) 4pm
Friday, July 4th (cor!) - Quarterfinal involving England if we get through. We would get Brazil if we placed second in the group or Spain if we place first.
Saturday, July 5 - Quarterfinal involving USA if we get through.
Tuesday, July 8 and Wednesday, July 9 - Semi-finals
Saturday, July 12 - 3rd/4th place match 4pm
Sunday, July 13 - World Cup Final! 3pm

So, if you look at that, I think there are two key moments that might be fun - the first weekend built around England's first (and most crucial match) against Italy in Manaus. And the Quarter-final weekend, which is close to the 4th of July holiday. Think about it, lads and post your thoughts here.

The reunion is definitely a possibility. I am not sure about my summer schedule at this time or my financial situation, but if I have the funds and the dates are available then I will attend.
