My new years resolution is to breathe life into a few dead groups. So
if there's anyone still reading this, let's start with a game of
Farmyard Mornington Crescent. All the usual Country Code rules apply.

I'll start with... Baa-bican

You're right. Buck-head station is a rather grisly stop. Perhaps a
little farther North..

Len - Ox

Now we have a brace of Oxen, we can plow the fields.
