Monday 15th Jan at the Anchor in Chudleigh Knighton for
our Christmas Draw Trail. There was a good turnout of hopeful Draw
winners for this run, laid by a lone Drag Act, which she confessed
was a pretty demanding task. Her well marked sawdust trail with L/S
splits led us around the village through woods, fields a stream and
around a very wet and muddy Bovey Heath. With my calf still not fully
recovered I found the soft wet off road run no problem until I
tripped on a large root and went sprawling in the mud, I have a sore
knee now to add to my list of recent injuries! After changing from my
muddy clothes there was a warm welcome as usual inside the Anchor Inn
where Satnav and team had set up the big Draw display, before the
draw the Landlord had supplied some excellent sausage, chips and some
chicken pieces which were quickly consumed. The DD's were next, from
Plitdown Man to Wet-Johnnie for taking an inappropriate leak!, next
Man Pig selected Hot Lips for spoiling his chances at the Hash Dance
calling him away just as the Taxi arrived! Finally a DD each for the
newly engaged couple Soapy and Mellon Picked, who on the customer y
one knee made his proposal with quickly supplied ring which Soapy was
delighted to accepted!
The excellent Draw organised by Satnav was a big success, well I
did get 2 prizes this time! There were a few tense moments especially
when ticket hatch on the spinning Tombola box fell open twice
spilling out the tickets. Well done to all involved with the raffle
and to Drag Act for a great trail. Archangel offered to cover our Jan
19th Run from the Park Inn Kingskerswell, but next week
we meet at the Wolborough Street Car Park for Hot Lips and Zoot's
trail OD Teign Cellars.
