Happy Birthday Mate

Time Gentlemen Please

The month has passed and it's time for Wilkinson sword and Gillette to claim their quarry, so ladies and gentlemen, I leave you with these parting gifts until next Movember!

Mr BK's big tip

If your Moustache is getting to a solid length this 'Movember' Mr Bk has the solution

grab a toothbrush, its gentle on your mo and if you grab a used toothbrush it has the increased benefit of smelling minty fresh throughout the day, plus its soft bristles offer endless styling options

 

Well done Kierron, son of Ewok

Today courtesy of Andy at East Devon Training another of our juniors earnt the mug!! Yes sporting a solid swim time on the day the newly 16 year old dinosaur impressionist has become a Lifeguard!!!!

Columbia has Snowy's mo

Attempting to settle inconspicuously into his fortnight teaching stint in Columbia he failed to realise a natural blonde may stand out especially sporting that attire on his top lip! He'll be back to grill us early December, assuming the Colombians let him out!!

Movember quotes thus far

"I went to a job today and the guy had a full mo like me but his had been there for a few years...he had a look of pity in his eyes for my lopsided growth"
BK

"I like to lick mine" Little Tom Jones

"I woke up this morning and it smelt of milk, best pay more attention before things get out of hand" Tom Merson

"They'll never take me seriously looking like this"
Nigel Snowshall

Compass Bearing Challenge

Strolling out of the Plume of Feathers in Princetown on a route planned by Snowy but only noted down as 6 figure grid references, we attempted to use all our newly learned skills to navigate in a thick mist despite the seriousness of the task there was enough time look good in this artistic windswept pose

The route took us over many swolen rivers which for those smug and of normal leg length was fine

however miss Slatter was at a slight disadvantage here as the youngest of junior members have now overtaken her in the height stakes

 but undeterred she took on another river and with Snowy on catching duty helped her achieve what those little legs have always dreamt of the oppurtunity to match the juniors agility

Look how she glides through the air so majestic, so elegant, oh so beautiful

When the weather turned we took refuge on a Tor, and to our delight the young Will Bowd took it upon himself to serenade us with his whistle

Before scaling the Tor and performing a little dance to ensure our morale was sky high

Snowy watched intensely and sketched and noted down all the moves and we expect to see his own rendition at the next presentation evening

Happy Halloween

Wishing you a scary surf

and a ghoulish good night

Pinky's out the only way for a zombie to devour a cocktail
