Non-race-Saturday triumph for Rob Ouldcott

No scheduled race this morning, but some took it upon themselves to race anyway.

The prize -  a squashed Mini Mars Bar to first home President Rob

Robin Hunter organised an impromptu event for those (un)lucky enough to be present

And provided a short race report -

In the absence of an official race just two days before the annual 100 yard Peter Pan race Robin Hunter organised an impromptu 110 yard race for the hardy few who turned up to swim.The distance was 110 yards but just 55 yards to the first exit ramp and then another 55 to return to the board.

To ensure fairness and a real sense of competitiveness each competitor was allowed to chose her/his own handicap. The winner by a short head was our esteemed President, Rob Ouldcott, who, despite splashing the other swimmers, was not disqualified.

As a well deserved prize he was awarded a rather squashed (by John Tierney) Mini Mars Bar.  Mini Kit Kats were awarded to the next two swimmers: Jonathan Neal and Victoria Haslar.  Great fun was had by all.

Good luck to all competitors for Christmas Day.

No photos of the "race", so here are a couple of Hugo on the board

No, he did not swim

Just in case anyone needs reminding just what President Rob looks like -
