The embodiment design for the pram protector have been finalised and the submission to the b-p-a will go in this weekend. Fingers crossed they give it a good looking over and give it top marks for being the best idea in the planet, at least one which has had little or no development.

Still keep an eye open for it in the shops soon!

Theres a nasty rumour and I hope it’s true

I’ll start this blog with something positive. I was stopped today by somone who at the moment will remain anonymous, but he was pretty excited to tell me that I’d won the Night Jar race series. I had a look on the website (http://www.bassenthwaite-sc.org.uk/) but couldn’t see the results. I don’t think he’d tell me a bunch of porkies, just cos he couldn’t catch me but I’m secretly hoping it’s true.

Fingers crossed then!

Vicous rumour partially true

This cutting taken from http://www.bassenthwaite-sc.org.uk

‘Thursday night, Night Jar A finished last week. Overall winner was Mike Turner and Sue Watson in a GP. Mike had done two OD duties during the series, but only needed to count one to win. Ginge was second. Alex Hill (Laser) was third overall and wins the laser/handicap trophy. Tim Smith wins the mirrors and Keith Thomas the Flying Fifteens. In all 44 helms took part over 10 races (two races were abandoned before they were started due to high winds).’

The Laser/Handicap trophy is mine, my first piece of silverware since the Unwin cup for sporting perserverance. What a proud moment. I think I’ll go home early
