Bears/Pears Cricket Thread 2014

[PGW]

I haven't been to Edgbaston for three or four years (I was a member for about 10 years) but I am really getting back into my cricket and am attempting to get my daughter and nephew into it.

I am looking at attending the T20 against Durham on Friday, weather permitting. My question is, are you still allowed to take your own food and beverages?

Food no problem, few cans ok just dont overdo it

The odd bottle of Rioja won't go amiss either!
