Bench specialists I think would be looked after... Definately. Especially if they competed


Quite right too.

I'm all for clubs having athletes compete - that's how it should be.

It's also good when clubs get more experienced, knowledgeable guys such as yourself helping out the younger lifters and giving something back to these places that brought them on as youngsters.

All the members know that. Some come-a-day, go-a-day, train when they feel like it, fly-by-nights may not.

I do remember, now it has been mentioned.

I am out of the loop though, and had obviously forgotten.

Not everybody can make the days / times due to work and family commitments so have to have other arrangements in place.

I don't expect you to understand.

Ah but I do. I am very well aware that I a poor man in some respects and a very fortunate man in others. I am also aware that others are rich where I am poor and vice versa.

I recall buying a new Sherlock Holmes story in Bolton one Sunday morning, I took it home and read it at one sitting. On telling people about this the next day at work I well recall seeing the amazement on the faces of married colleagues that I could sit and read for several hours without interruption.

Do not permit my oaf-like appearance and manner convince you I don't understand. Often I do. Not with your level of understanding - that I will never have.

Adlington is a place I will always hold close to my heart; I have many fond memories of the place.

I would love to have trained there over the years more than I have, but for one reason or another, circumstances seem to have prevented it.

I will still try to get down whenever I can.

As long as everybody doesn't try to kill me.

Besides which, FatPete still owes me three quid. Wink

I remember you being there the first night I went to Adlington

Why would anyone try to kill you? Although Pete may do anything for 3 quid.

Would be good to see you down now and again Jon.
