Hi Martin, owing to incompetence I thought I would be away at the end of April and now will not be. I think I'm too late, though, for a place at Alton. Am I right?
Yours,
Paul

Yours, Paul Hi Paul Well….currently all places are taken, but I have you down on the reserves list, further to our conversation at Stannington. Over the next couple of days there may well be a ‘reminder’ going out to all who have signed up, just in case anyone has fergotted…after that I can reassess. But you’re not forgotten, Paul.

Presumably Martin will be publishing the list of runners and riders for Alton. At which point you could always see if anyone was prepared to 'step aside' for a small remuneration? (to aid your charge toward the SOA league title, which departed from the tracks somewhat in sunny Sheffield) P.S. there's nowt wrong with Tamils! |

I'm currently reading Roger Knight's book "Britain against Napoleon - the organisation of victory", which documents Britain's numerous payments to keep other armies *in* the field. I feel it would be rather unpatriotic to pay to get them *out* of it!
P.S. a bad mahout always blames his mount

Emails sent out to those on the current list…if you THINK you’ve booked but received no email/message let me know.
Cheers

How do you get two elephants in a mini?(seeing as elephant references seem obligatory). 😁

One in the back and one in the front, of course. How do you get four elephants in a mini?

You take the four elephants out and put the two whales in? Can't you just ask the elephants to move over? |
