It is so peaceful just after New Year & Christmas. People can do other things! Everyone that was new to their job suddenly discovers they have got quite good at it. About 72 hours ago they thought they’d never cope. I hope everyone that was here enjoyed their festive season holiday and the seeing in of the New Year. I wonder how long we’ll continue this celebration? We’ve had the Gregorian Calendar now since 1582, is it time for a change? I mean the celebrations for the beginning of the year of the Rat start on the 25th of January and last for 15 days!
Almost everyone got out to test their ski legs, and it went well all round. Ski legs appeared to get people where they wanted to be: which for many seemed to be the Start Bar!
We had a race this week: A wee season opener. It was also the David Strage Cup for the Coggins. We were particularly touched to have the Strage family in town to present the award too. The Coggins results will be printed in the Journal next year, but here are the overall results:
| Bib# | Name | YOB | Gender | Time 1 |
| 22 | Maddy Fairfull | Female | 15.086 | |
| 1 | John Quinn | Male | 16.775 | |
| 2 | Ed Wilson | Male | 17.772 | |
| 20 | James Wilson | Male | 17.779 | |
| 7 | Lachlan Davies | Male | 19.875 | |
| 8 | Ivor Stannah | Male | 19.91 | |
| 9 | Clara Cully | Female | 21.175 | |
| 10 | Charlotte Cully | Female | 21.509 | |
| 6 | Phoebe Stirrup | Female | 23.205 | |
| 4 | Freya Stirrup | Female | 23.529 | |
| 3 | Emily Stirrup | Female | 24.126 | |
Some Magnificent results, but very appropriately the win went to the current DHO Race Trainee, about to go to the British School Girls Championships, good luck Maddy.
Here’s the Coggins of the week and the Coggins of the past.
A bit of inspirational fun, we can’t all be almost international trampoline athletes!
