The Village, Headingley, Leeds
Another successful Steve Smith organised event. This year saw ninety three people attending at 'The Village' for this years Club Lunch. Reluctant 'Guest of Honour' Carl Saint, had been persuaded into accepting the role by Steve Smith. Carl was composed and fluent as he faced many difficult questions during his interview, only showing signs of stress when asked if he intended riding the Marmotte on his trike next year. The event went without hitch this year, no fire alarms to break the day up. This obviously meant that the beer and wine flowed faster, and a few tales of excess by normally strict athletes have been heard of since.
