Dids' orienteering stories Part 3

[ifititches]

Gumbie eh? in Birmingham he was unceremoniously dubbed the "Tartan Trotter". I have some pictures of him with the flag at home;if I can work out how to I'll scan one into the gallery. (Any hints on how to do this?)

[samsonite]

joykok, i salute you.

right on the money.

[Mrs H.]

Thank you Ewan -= you've put in a nut shell what i've been trying to get over to people for years ( i even said it my last editorial i think).

Amusingly - my mole at the recent major events course told me that robin field was preaching to everyone the importance of "sexing up" events with extra attractions ha ha ha. I wonder where he got that idea from

Flag..........

Many's the 'fights' at BUSF over various flags..... some stories to be told there but wouldn't want to get an earful from Becks so I'll keep quiet:)

keep them for the 40th, they'll go down a treat there no doubt.

[rocky]

does anyone know where the flag from the top of mcewan hall has gone?

cos i do

[Becks]

I think I may know too - if it is the one I was told about you were quite impressed apparently...

[samsonite]

im very impressed. that is one hell of a steal.

[rocky]

i think it probably is becks, do you know what he's done with it?

[Becks]

I think he's thinking about how to get it back there before anyone important notices...

[rocky]

lets hope no one important is watching nopesport today...

[bendover]

dids isn't a grown man he's only 3ft 7

[Gumbie Again]

It is quite flattering to be the subject of such an illustrious forum, even though it is 30 years after the fact.

I would prefer no one post a picture of me and the flag from BUOC days and my sons might catch a glimpse of my trendy hairstyle.

Unfortunately cannot make the 40th celebration inperson but our thoughts will be there (if Gross goes maybe he can toss a roll in our memory -I rmeber Commb's catch from an earlier, much earlier celebration.

[J.Tullster]

If anyone has a picture of that sort at the pm it to me or preferably post it on the forum. Don't listen to Gumbie, he's a wimp, and at the othe side of the atlantic.

[ifititches]

fear not "Gumbie", although I have said photo it will require major archeological excavation through photo drawer to find it. (or not, depending on what I am bid for it!) It did surface for the BUOC reunion in 2000 (since you didn't) but does not have place of honour on mantelpiece, even though it was your party which threw me together with Mr Ifititches.

Was at an orienteering party a few weeks ago at which another ex BU X-country team member was asking after you.

How's the weather?
Hope you noticed that I called you a "legend"(at least, I think I did)

[gross2004]

I'll dig photo out of EUOC flag, Gumbie (with trendy haircut), Ali T, Fiona J, Ann C, Andy C et all standing in frony of Wellington's Monument at JK ?5
