A swift update on events.

And so this is Christmas. And how often do you get to use those five words inpublic when you’re sober? Not to mention starting two sentences with ’and’. Thefestive season is definitely with us.

Another year over, and what have we done? Quite a bit, as it turns out. We canstill hold our heads up after our year’s performances in the Castles and on theroads and over the country, while our women are entitled to a bit of a swagger,as they’ve won so many team trophies, travelled abroad so often, and donned somany international vests, that I’m embarrassed to list them all.

We keep getting younger. John and Eryl have contributed their effort tolowering the average age of the club, but the real reason is that young (under30) members keep signing up. We don’t know where they are all coming from, butat least Darren Green and Ceri Donovan look like staying around for some timeto come.

Virtually rewarded

As proudly displayed on the front page, this site also won an award. I canexclusively reveal that we were nominated by me, and competition must have beenshort that month, because we won almost by return of post. Since then, in thecourse of prowling the web, I’ve happened on past winners, and the award couldas much have been for ’godawful farrago of the month’, which shrinks the egoconsiderably.

All that now stands in the way of our world domination is selection for the’worst sites of the web’. We’re trying hard for the bottom 5%, but competition,as ever, is stiff. However, we should be a shoo-in for the ’Worst site by asports or social club sponsored by a betting establishment (South Walessection)’ finals. Assuming that we hold off Honest Bob (Turf Account) RhinestoneCowgirls Line Dancing Club of Llanelli, Coral Pigeon Fanciers Club(Dimarianogwbl), and Corleone Boxing Ring (Maepwllgloyncae).

Christmas Competition

I’m off to think of more rubbish to sully cyber space with.

A selection of your letters

Dear Ace,

Some years ago, at the Manchester to Blackpool relays, I unfairly failed toacknowledge my dear friend Mr John Huggins, of your club. I wish to take thisopportunity to apologise unreservedly to this great man and example to us all.Despite my many degrees and successes in races, I here humbly admit thateverything I know worth knowing, I learned from John Huggins,
yours

(Dr) Ron Hill, MBE, etc.

Erratum

It is our sad duty to report an error on our results page. The original status line read "Round up the usual suspects!" Of course, Claude Rains said no such thing in Casablanca, but "Round up all the usual suspects." We apologise for any distress caused to the excessively pedantic.
