Run Report by Kate
Better late than never!
On a hot and humid evening, me, Amanda, Presso, Dominique, Chris, Steve, Jules, David, Brett, Michael ( can’t remember anymore apologies if I have left anyone out!) met in the car park of the Mowchak. Selwyn was however conspicuous in this absence some legal matter but whatever you do don’t ask Amanda or she will have to kill you! A prompt start, as all were keen to get back for the football at 7.45pm. Instead as in previous years from this pub heading off towards the M40, we crossed the road and ran towards Radnage, very much the preferred option. With the heat of the evening the ‘pack’ became quite spread out, when we did finally regroup, we all lamented the fact that we had not brought water with us. When we once again set out we lost both David and Presso to ‘calls from the pub’ and in all honesty I was quite tempted to join them!
The route finally joined up with the ‘old Wednesday run’ and we were all on familiar territory, Jules, Chris, Steve and Dominique broke off for a further loop, leaving the rest of us the make our way back to the Mowchak. Once back at the pub, we found that JB had managed to join the group, and that Presso and David with pints in front of them had managed to secured a good section of the bar ensuring the all members of the group had a good view of the football.
Amanda using all her negotiating skills ordered some nibbles which were gratefully received, slight fight over the last bowl of popperdoms caused by JB who insisted on having ‘just one more’! Between the eating (without plates), drinking and general chat, some football was also being watched and various theories on Liverpool and their style of play, in comparison the other clubs such as Manchester United were unleashed upon the group and were a cause of much discussion between one or two people. Needless to say I remain quiet at this point and merely thought that Liverpool were wearing a rather nice shade of red, not too bright.
My concentration was wondering at this point, the final score was 2-1 to Milan with Liverpool getting at last a goal in the last few minutes. Against the run of play? The best team won? I’ve got no idea!
This week, tomorrow! Is at The Squirrel in Penn St, at 7pm, many thanks to Chris R who has said he is happy to lead. Heather I suggest you get your stilettos ready, there really is no excuse for this one, as it’s on your door step!
See you all tomorrow
