Sorry, but I came over all LJS, no not the cr#p boy band but old Long John himself. It's ever since Jan gave me those crutches to help out with me poorly knee when I joined the (growing) list of Maltby sick lame and lazy. In fact I may paint them yellow and green and make them the club crutches because you can bet that they will get used again.
Anyway, they are now back in the land of Champagne having once again cemented Anglo french relationships.
Upcoming events are The Abbey Dash and the Bawtry Forest Race, two great events that I hope that you will support in one way or another.
Time to go. I won't take as long next time.

PS FACT. The national "Talk like a Pirate day" is 19th September and is based on the accent that Robert Newton gave in his portrayal of the fictional character in the Disney movie Treasure Island.
