Appologies for the delay but this is down to a large enough space being available in the magazine due to world champs and ToB
The news editor (a Norwood Paragon member) wanted a 250 word story to go with the picture but I wrote slightly more than that (about 900 words more in truth and the big boss editor said he wanted to run my large version
Said NP member got aggrieved with this cos a) HE's the news editor and b) it was Addiscombe and not NP with 122 riders out, and started blubbing like a little cry-baby.
We hired some tidy muscle (I know a few tasty geezers from round Bermondsey way who I sometimes use for a little extra 'insurance') and a severe beating was administered. So we'll run the story while NP news editor is away from his desk recovering in hospital and unable to stick his green and yellow beak in any further - hopefully next week.
Watch this space.
