Another refugee from Group 5! Have got a couple of bags oranges, jaffa cakes and jelly babies for runners, a few treat for you lovely supporters and can of Strongbow for Bear . Will be dropping these off at expo tomorrow.
Just flying in from grope 4 to say hi again. I may be in 4, but I'll be calling into 8 for refuelling as well. Hoping to meet TP in the Blue Pen to get our engines revved up.
Good to see two waifs have found their way to their new home
I hate this time of year. i feel like a mother duck leading her chicks out onto the pond for the first time.
But I have a favour to ask and am hoping someone lovely in this grope can oblige. I have been busy sorting out the support threads and have been slacking in supporting my own team and i am trying to keep options open all over the place in case there are other issues to resolve and Barley will kill me if I fail on this and he will beast me on my training but I fear Group 1 could be left without a sign. Is there anyone out there who could help me out? I know it's a massive ask and it's late in the day (not literally......although ), but I really really really would appreciate some help one this one.
I was debating the pirate logo, but fear that could be deemed as being cliquey and may also exclude/confuse pirates running in other groups. So I think is safest to go with a bog-standard Group 1. Or maybe have the support group names on it ie Barley, Schmunks, and Running Rodent. Or , or, or, or.......oh, I dunno. Choices, choices. I think best to leave it to the sign maker
Hmmm, I did find the patience level dropping below the minimum level expected of The Right Hand Woman Of The Man That Organises This and so had to put myself in their shoes (or trainers) and try to imagine what they must be going through with tapir madness.
Not necessarily stressy, but it's like herding cats at times , but hopefully it will all be worth it and everyone will have a great time on Sunday and it will be a day to remember for runners and supporters alike
Just in case any Grope 8 people are frightened off by the thought of not having a letter box as shiney as Sweetie's one, don't be. It's not a requirement of entry into the group.

Hello BBH ... lovely to have you with us

Fingers crossed and all that
Tiptoes is your man for signs Schmunkee. I'll PM him and ask if he'd help out. Did you want anything in particular on it?
I am sure sometimes you feel like smacking some of the ducklings round the head and telling them to get a grip

But a teeny bit of impatience leaked out
It's all organised and he'll make you a pretty One.
It's a stressful job Schmunks so a little bit of leakage is only to be expected

ST: My loverly, I have one thing to say to you today.
LETTERBOX
I heard she shows the postman her letterbox and get him to admire it
Ooo-err missus!
Really, do tell us more
<sits comfortably>
Does it close properly or leave a gap for wind to get in?
No, I believe it snaps shut and traps your fingers if you're not careful.
Morning Gr8ers Only 5 more sleeps
Is the letterbox one you open with a key? I bet that it bangs in the wind.
Eagle Airways will fly the grope One sign to the Expo on Thursday with the others.
Thanks RE
It's nearly heeeerrrrreeee
