Club Race Report – 24th April 2023

With the Cavillator and Work Experience boy away on a team building weekend retreat. I was drafted in, to write and release the report.

I turned up at the Cavillator’s office…… It looked like something from 1970s film. Old manual typewriters, note pads, pens and vidiprinter (what on earth even is that….)

I was told under no circumstances to use the credit card for expenses. I thought to myself, I am not staying here it’s filthy and old, not a modern day gadget in sight.

So with that credit card, I booked flights and 5 star hotel, so as I sit drinking champagne in the Shard, I bring you, the weekly race report. 🥂🥂🥂
