Club Notes for the 4th January

by Kel

Greetings and new year wishes too all. The recent Christmas excess as left its usual toll on my power to weight ratio this despite venturing out loads of times in the recent break, well when I say loads of times I actually mean a few times or five and three of those were short very damp affairs, Others in the club are certainly fairing better and have been out most days. I have been receiving reports both of where various club members have been visiting also who and where other members have been spotted by my spy network so I can keep you all up to date on their progress, but before getting too carried away with this years build up we have to finish off last years season with the results of the club championships. These were presented at Den Engel’s Bar and Restaurant on the 15^th of November. A suitable venue as Den Engel’s is not only our adopted club house but more recently the clubs sponsor for 2003 more details again in later reports as part of this years resolution is to try and keep things more brief, so with no further ramblings here are last years deserved winners:-
