Its Interclub Slalom Time!

WHAT a SCORCHER

Team Proteus went off to Cardington this weekend for the National Interclubs slalom Congratulations to everyone who took part in the interclubs this weekend, and thanks to all those who came along and supported the team.

No one could miss us, with the noise from the horn, the vuvuzela and of course the load voices. Of course loud voices were Lois and Kosi, Kate and Colin were their normal shy retiring selves and kept quiet

If like me you've lost your voice, you'll be pleased to know it was all in a good cause - the Sportsmans award, which is presented to the team to have taken part in the best spirit of the event, as voted by the team managers, went to "that noisy lot from Proteus" :-)

We also had some brilliant individual & team performances, including (if my memory is correct): K1M Div2/3/Vet team - 4th K1W team - 7th Canadian team - 7th Matthew Footitt - Div 3 K1M - 5th Sally Atkinson - Prem/Div K1W - 5th Pete Atkinson - Veterans - 4th Kate Kent - C1W - 3rd

I think this is the first time I've ever seen all our teams actually do their runs nose to tail and interweaving as a team rather than spreading out to give each other space.

Which all added up to us comming 9th overall. The best finish we've had in years

So stand up and take a bow the entire team WELL DONE!

Anyone want to send me any pictures/links to picture, or leave a disk in the club and let me know? Just so I can update the web
Especially pictures of Lois piroutting at the bottom of the course, I understand he had a large grin, could not see it myself for some reason
