Fall Team Challenge - start 15.9.14

Post by Stan »

Hi everyone,
I have just signed us up for the fall team challenge which starts September 15. To take part you need to click the team tab in your online logbooks and follow the instructions for joining up. Any problems let me know. I will send out a round robin email at the start of next month. Any questions, just ask :D

Says fall challenge on the captains page.
It does mention March challenge on my recruitment spiel so I will change that


update. Double checked everything and we are definitely signed up for the fall challenge. I have updated my recruitment paragraph to mention this September rather than March. 34 signed up so far but I haven't sent out the round robin email yet. I will be doing that soon and I apologise in advance to those of you who have already signed up but will receive the email anyway.

Don't know how that compares to other challenges but sounds like a good start! Thank you, Stan, for organizing.

16,304 m contributed to the cause.

Since moving to CA I have gained a 5 pounds, which would be fine if it was muscle but sadly all flab. Need to reverse that trend.

CamiCrew - you may need to drive to San Diego to beat me with a stick if I don't get back on tomorrow.

Once she gets started, there's no stopping her (sometimes 8) ). But application of a big stick won't go amiss (seeing as she's asking for it :wink: ) to make sure she doesn't stray from the path...

Well none of those meters cause me to drip in sweat, mine were oh-dear-I-am-soooooo-out-of-shape meters. I just need to keep getting on day after day.

Good to see you rowing again Christine.

I need to log my metres so far, though not too many of them. Today will be my last rowing day unless I can find a C2 in Cyprus [-o<

Sir Alan - it's not very chivalrous of you to throw parts of your attire at the fair Lady Christine, a damsel in distress. [-X :lol:
I do hope that you have a good supply of WD40 :?: Perspiration can play havoc with a suit of armour/chain mail. #-o :)

By the way, with a forum name like that, you're risking people calling you 'Pulp' soon. :)
