MYSTERY MAN READ TO THE END, NOW IT'S YOUR TURN!
So, the results are in of the 2020 I
Read To The End Competition .... drum roll .... on the first count we
ended up with a tie between fast readers Megan Malpas and Andy Farrant,
so it was necessary to take into account the number of second and third
places, which meant that our wonderful student social secretary, the
quiz queen herself, Megan Malpas is our winner for the year, and can
claim a wonderful UBSS buff in a colour of her choice!! Congratulations
to a worthy winner!
Honourable mentions go to other monthly winners: Ian Wheeler, Ash Gregg,
Sharon Wheeler, The Prezz, Henry Morgan and Chris Howes!
And last month's winner was past president Bob Churcher! With Ian
Wheeler claiming a very respectable win in the Last to Read to the End
stakes.
- [-] (Bob Churcher) (Editors: still a man of few words by email.)
- I read to the end, and I startled the cat with my howls of laughter at former Hon Sec Ian Wheeler’s story! (Jan Walker)
- Yep, a fine ending again, to a bad year and a great newsletter.
The record of what happens at New Year really should be preserved in a
more permanent form in Proceedings, no matter that it isn’t that series.
(Chris Howes) (Editors: great idea. After a bit more research, we'll
aim to write something up.)
- And now to colour in a mammoth. (The Prezz)
- As ever a great read, although I don’t recall turning the
Singing River green…! (Andy Farrant) (Editors: he then followed this
with " It might have been me, there was some Fluorescein in the tackle
store at about that time; I remember unsuccessfully trying to trace GB
to try and prove inlets in Gough’s. My memory is not what it was! ")
- I’m writing this instead of studying for my exams. I also have not yet read to the end. (Megan Malpas)
- WASSUP! (Zac Woodford)
- I did after a long day of online teaching! Really enjoyed Ian’s story, Thanks for such a great read. (Kat Osei-Mensah)
- Thank you for a great read! I read to the end in the cold,
old house to which we have recently moved in the Scottish Borders.
Do I have to give bunny a name? “Rabbit”. (Eve Gilmore)
- Read to the end. Me. (Dick Willis)
- No,
but I have read this one. Very pleased that the re-arrangement of
heating in the stables has given us an unexpected 8m of extra filing
space for back numbers of Proceedings. Thanks to Jan Walker for help as
it was definitely a 2 person job. Now to search for September's.
(Tony Boycott) (Editors: we did re-send September's to him!)
- Ooooh, so I get a prize from last time for being a
day late and a dollar short because of totally legit work
shit-shovelling! The blessed FT and I have read to the end this time as
well and particularly enjoyed the story on the new year rituals, which
we were sorry to miss. Huge thanks and kudos go to the editors and their
minions for producing such fabulous and entertaining newsletters all
through the year. (Sharon Wheeler)
- I have decided to try for the double whammy and go for the late
reader prize, though I suspect I should have kept my powder dry for
another 10 days or so. (Ian Wheeler) (Editors: Good timing! It was a win
for Ian!)
Now,
who read to the end this time? Late entries accepted! For those new to
the game, there will be a splendid prize for the first person to read to
the end and tell us that you did!
THE END
