A rare concurrence of a
fine sunny day and the Town Sports saw me relaying 27 school athletes to the
stadium in a 16-seater minibus (health & safety dictating that this be done
in two shuttle runs rather than packing them all in cattle-truck fashion) and then
spending a pleasant day cheering them on, chaperoning toilet visits and getting
a sunburnt face, before returning them (victorious no less) in two more shuttle
runs; the eight drives (two extra were needed to return an unwell child to
school) clocked up just sixty miles but seemed longer due to the 56 speed bumps
negotiated (seven each trip – a bit like doing the hurdles in a bus) half of
which were greeted with over-dramatic shrieks from the passengers.
