HANG IN THERE! DAMIEN READ TO THE END - DID YOU?
Everyone who visited the UBSS stall
at the Welcome Fair will have met Damien! He's here to supervise the
first Read to the End competition of the new term. There will be a
fabulous prize for the first student to get to the end of their first
newsletter and to click the button to claim your prize! If you want to
leave us a comment as well, please feel free! And yes, the rest of you
can still play, as Damien is kind like that. So we'll have two prizes,
one for students and one for the rest of the mob.
So, now to announce the winner for August ... for the second month
running, we have Sharon Wheeler, aided and abetted by her faithful
companion, came in first! Guess who was procrastinating instead of
working ...
- Me and the sainted FT Bear read to the end and want to know why
the cast of Father Ted were in OFD! Excellent newsletter with some
stunning pix. [Sharon Wheeler]
- Can I please win this time? I think I still have the letter from
Co Clare which described UBSS and particularly me as loose and
immoral! It was sent to my parents from Co Clare after the mad/sad
man was prosecuted for endangering our lives! 50 plus years
later… I wish!! [Eve Wheeler] {As Eve came a very creditable second, we
did award a prize, after all, being described as loose and immoral
should win a prize any day!}
- I read to the end! Caving skills coming in handy at the moment
navigating under and over all the moving house boxes! Need to go caving
sometime soon though - I've missed it! [Helen Frawley]
- Yes, again, a great read. Weird things happening to authors still seem to continue to become weirder. [Chris Howes]
- This time I am in the office…! Cracking read as ever… [Andy Farrant]
- I'd forgotten about that letter. I used to have our summons to
appear as witnesses somewhere, must find it - Sean Donnellan did throw a
missile (stone) in contravention of the offences against the persons
act 1897 (or some such date). Happy memories of cutting out the wetsuit
from a paper template on the floor of 8 Dover Place and gluing and
taping. It was great shame when I had to dispose of what was eventually a
pile of crumbling bits a while ago. [Steve Trudgill]
- Great newsletter, love all the pics! [Rick Schulting]
- The description of my OFD 1 contretemps had me laughing. If anyone
ever asks me if an injury will ever put me off caving, they will first
receive a look of total disbelief, then a short and pithy “Not
happening!” Great newsletter, great photos, lots of interesting stuff
here! And no, I didn’t do it deliberately to get out of more photos! LOL
[Jan Walker]
- Thanks for another great newsletter! [Kat Osei-Mensah]
- I did it! am I a newsletter behind yet? sorry, been very busy
holidaying [Cat Henry] {No, Cat, you're all caught up, and win a prize
for being the last entrant!]
So, there's everything to play for! Tell Damien you read to the end and he will dish out prizes. But remember, the orang's decision is final.
THE END
