The Friday mystery run proved a great success with gangs of headless chickens running in circles around Kingsthorpe and in all directions of the compass shining lights in people’s eyes.
The format was to visit as many Churches or pubs within one hour gaining 4 pts for a church and 2 for a pub.
Only one team made a plan, (Eamon, John and Suzanne) or were they confident enough to give the others a head start.
Local knowledge and looking where you have been going when out were definite advantages and being able to write whilst running is a skill not many seem to have.
With 58 points winners on the night were the team of Wendy, Beckie and Steve. Good local knowledge and Beckie’s race face were an unstoppable combination.
At 52 points there was then a tie between two teams who followed very different routes.
Team Eamon + Suzanne and John tied with Team Martin + Ronnie, Darren and Dave.
The other teams involved all got beat by the clock and had to suffer disqualification under the severe rules. There is no appeals process either.
48 pts in 2 hrs Mary, Avtar, Rachel, Karen, Colin, Jags.
44 pts in 1 hr and 1 min Jasmine, Martin and Micky (try coming more often you might know your way round) Bhogal.
38 pts Jocelyn, Mark 1, Mark2, Roger (more church required)
I managed 62 pts after spending time at work planning a route with military precision. Therefore well done to all and I don’t think we have lost anyone.
P.s we (Mark, Suzanne, Darren, Dave) then won the jackpot on the quiz so free beer for the evening also.
Merry Christmas, Mark G
