Trouble was with my increasing age years I couldn't recall what the event may have been. I needed a 'refresher'. Wasn't there a tie break race to decide the actual winner?

At the other extreme, this was the first meeting I saw at Wimbledon Stadium. Was any other BSF member there?

A very strange individual. if the event was 14 years ago and Gustix is an old man , what is strange about him not remembering all the details of the event ? how does that make him a " very strange individual" ? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
