It goes without saying that ROSSI were absent today owing to the small amount of precipitation and a little dampness underfoot.

John (SCO) and Paul(new) were similarly afflicted by hydrophobia.

Keeping up appearances were Kenny ( club comedian) , Cormac (Club Tech nerd) , Doc Lewis ( Club rare parts specialist) , Robbie ( rapidly becoming club crash test Dummy) , Herself ( Club Token Female) , COC ( Deluded Boss) .

Initial route was to be reverse bath but visibility was so poor at tunnel that a straightforward mast climb was thought prudent . It was spongy to say the least! . Mast to fern Gully and back up to mast again just cos we love climbing . Home by Glen and River walk.

An extraordinary meeting of the organising committee was held to discuss the appearance of a Black object on Tims bike . Investigations suggest this is most likely a mudguard . An order to seize his computer to see if it contains images of mudguards or evidence of web sites selling such objects was issued . Needless to say if proven , the repercussions could be severe.

Mud extraction from body crevasses continues at this time .
