Wednesday 26th May 2010 – “Let’s Off Road”
I am sure that, like me, everyone had a really enjoyable night last night.
Our thanks go out to Andy Woodhouse, Mark Whetton, and Paul Dumolo for their hard work in organising the event.
So where do I begin to summarise?
Well, Andy Johnson was up to his usual tricks. Firstly by throwing Simon Addison’s Tag Card into the water hazard, and then attempting (but not succeeding) in pinching the keys from the Team NLH vehicle.
How did Chris Berry manage to pop up everywhere with the video camera? and why could we not manage to run him over when he was trying to film that action shot?
The manoeuvre of the evening goes to Kevin McHugh for beating Dave Southward in a drag race. Not impressed, Well, Kevin was in reverse!
The biggest panic of the evening must go to Mark Parnham when the Discovery started given off knocking noises. The biggest sigh of relief must also go to Mark when he realised that the knocking was only that the towing cap had come loose. Phew.
It must not be forgotten that the evening was a timed event ( Oh there’s the man with the camera again!) and the order that the teams finished in are as follows:
1st…….Team Parnham 1hr 05m 20sec
2nd…..Team Dumolo 1hr 12m 42sec
3rd……Team 41 1hr 20m 20sec
4th…….Swad 1 1hr 22m 28sec
5th……..Posh Team 1hr 24m 23sec
6th……..Swad 2 1hr 38m 23sec
7th…….Pistoff Team 1hr 38m 35sec
8th…….Team NLH 1hr 50m 00sec
9th…….Man with big Camera…DNF
So Congratulation go to the winning team, who are Team NLH.
(as this was the team with the Chairman in it…………..and the Vice Chair…………………Oh, and me, the Programmes Officer).
Finally, all of the guy’s who bought your own vehicles, and trusted the novices to drive also get a big Thank You. We hope all vehicles have made it back in one piece ready for next time.
Who would have though that we could have had so much fun for £4.50 each?
Thanks again to everyone who organised, retrieved, and most importantly of all…….. participated.
And for Those who didn’t make it – Videos Below
