Sprint freaks. Win !!!.

Had our club meeting here last night & the new mob in charge at Fed level etc rolled out the new race program as such for the 2016 season. Started talking about the Paris convention "What the **** is that I said" & the 10% rule as such here, to help justify getting there own way with our distance races. Subsequently & I'm p*ssed off "Big time" I'm as now I have only 2 races over 400 miles to my loft. We just happened also to have a new member there to join up & he just loves the long races etc & I wouldn't like to think what was going through his mind as he sat there taking it all, sadly. . But unfortunately I'm more on the Grumpy side of life, at this moment in time truth be told now .

same in my federation oz we only have 1 race over 400 miles ,pushing members who want to fly the distance races into specialist clubs or national races

up here in the n/east a distance club is going from strength because lots of members dont seem to want the 400ml plus races

Same in this Fed. 2 400 and a 500. Used to have 2 4;s a 5 and a 6 but no one wants to wait for birds. Even with ETS.

I praise the lot of them Shippy etc "The John Rumney brigade" as such & I would be happy to join them all if it wasn't for your crap weather there as I'm a shorts man, no jumper type 24x7x52 .

thats them knackered the john rumney brigade they are putting up some fantastic performances especially when you take the race day conditions and the wind into account

Are they ever Shippy I learnt about John & his merry brigade etc     through a very good mate of mine down here "A pom" who keeps in close contact with him, from his days on the allotments there together. John would have gone home ing I would suggest, if he had been at my last meeting here & saw what a pack of wimps they were .

None of the above O/S truth be told, I have that much hair on my head none of them would fit etc. In fact I live in fear here, that through the night at some stage the missus will come out with the scissors in an attempt to make me look respectable.

Just spent an hour Mark on the phone with the little fat bloke . He should have been working to pay for my gold card etc but bosses rules applies he said to me, as such. Not a happy chappy I'm with what they have done with our long races & unfortunatey, he know's what devious types are in charge now from down the bottom here & what tricks will apply by them in the future, in regards to sprint type racing.
