The New Year Has Not Been Kind to the Team
The new year has not been kind to the team. Most got up to see in the new year, only because they needed a wee or had forgotten a tablet. Their new year resolutions have had a serious impact on numbers at our January meeting, where we cleaned up the border in front of the Community Centre. Our concern for absent members was well founded. Ieuan and Shady had been persuaded by their spouses to join a gym. Not quite sure what they were expecting; it certainly wasn’t the inability to get to the loo unless aided after the first visit. Another bright spark convinced his mate that he should join a slimming club. This has resulted in frayed tempers, no energy and starving. Tony, our thespian, has attempted to resurrect the Temperance Movement by canvassing outside the local hostelry. We didn’t think his heart was in it. After some short and choice words from the clientele he joined them inside and has since ditched his calling for holy orders to last orders. As with every January, this phase will pass, and we will have learnt a lesson. You don’t get this old without doing something right.
A huge turnout is expected at the junction of Walston Road and Pound Lane on 9th February
