Hi everyone,  a big thanks to all Striders
                    for a very pleasant evening on Wednesday    
                     I enjoyed it thoroughly.
                     I have said it on many occasions, that we are
                      not the biggest club but we are certainly the
                      nicest of clubs.
                      It was lovely of you lot to buy me a bottle
                      of J D , hic  hic slurp i mean half bottle , hic
                       slurp , i will just put this empty bottle into
                       the recycling box hic.
                       Seriously now though thanks very much,
                       i certainly didnt expect a present, predictably
                       i will put the money towards a pair of running shoes.
                      God bless John xxx
