Surely you should be celebrating the continued success of our Con Club - maintaining the standards so proudly trumpeted by departed friend Peter Marshall.
Pushed to the wire by another side; you reign supreme in that blurry world of achievement of mediocrity against the odds. :) 8-)
I and Mrs Honchair will be taking no - or very, very little - credit for the achievements of our pals at the Railway Social Club!! We shall, though, be joining them in a hearty celebration on the 14th! 8-)

Do you know that if you added the con clubs points and the winterton, we would still be 10 points behind the maypole ;D ;D ;D

Some take quiet a pride in the wooden spoon, in fact have seen many a spectacular presentation of said trophy.

There's a certain Kudos with ours - and some history - though I can't remember who either bought or made the thing; but we have the Golden Peg!
Last season, the con Club were presented with the Golden Peg for (I think) the 5th season in a row. At the persentation the season before, Peter Marshall mentioned that, as his team had "won" this trophy more times than Brazil did the Jules Rimet before being allowed to keep it, surely the trophy should be theirs for eternity??
The trophy itself is actually rather gorgeous; a wooden arch, some 12" tall, with wooden, gold sprayed peg sitting nicely beneath and a small plaque with the legend COTY Award; allegedly the Cock-up Of The Year. It's solid and distinguished looking. Having won it again last season, the Con club agreed to sponsor a new trophy if they could keep the peg.
Sadly, Peter will not be there to receive the new trophy, but his legacy will be to have been the captain at the end of the last season for which teh Peg was awarded, and the captain for a part of the season in which the new trophy was "won"!
