The future of the NTTA annual presentation night looks to have been preserved.The NESLC "A" team has ordered a further 3 trophies,bringing the total to 10.One is for a member fo their "B" team who has been asked to step into the breach.(the reasons for this are too complex and intricate to go into).The second one is to be made into a commemorative plaque to be given to Mrs. Pauline Long for her long(no pun intended)service to the sport.When ask if this would be "A thrill of a lifetime",instead of replying in her normal cultural tones,she reverted to the more gutteral inflections of her Anglo-Saxon heritage.
The extra 3rd trophy has been offered to yourstruly;yes that is correct not a typo,I was told quote "We'ed rather have you inside the tent peering out,instead of being outside the tent peering in"(I believe I've phrased that correctly).
As the presentation is to be held at the newly refurbished Killingworth Boat Club(generous donations from distinguished recent visitors have achieved this) I'm sorely tempted.I'm told that their fare is excellent;speciality Duck a l'orange.
But, can I be bought with trinkets---watch this space.
