That's the sound of someone slipping off the running water and bouncing off the floor on the HH circuit Sunday

The Hog Hill Winter Series comes to a close on Saturday February 21.

As this is the last in the series no league fee will be charged, only entry fees as normal £10 4th cat and the remainder £12. Women's only race.

Furthermore the circuit has suffered with flooding problems on the bottom circuit and series organiser Lesley Everest says: "The London Development Agency has instructed the design contractors to carry our remedial works at the RCC course.

Yesterday, the Contractors enlarged the [size=150]French drains[/size] on the flooded areas on the bottom circuit and cleared the mud placed close to the course edge by the Landscapers. These improvements should enable us to use the whole circuit tomorrow. The course is being swept as much as possible today.

Once the results are in the final series rankings will be made avilable and series prizes will be presented at the end of the day.

Hey, I can use wikipedia too

[quote]The earliest forms of French drains were simple ditches, pitched from a high area to a lower one filled with gravel. Later, French drains were made of sections of tile, invented by [size=200]Henry French of Concord, Massachusetts[/size][1]
