Prof Tom Crolla - Elegant




Prof. Tom Crolla showed his undoubted elegance at a recent sprint session at the Velodrome - here seen posing with his friend whom he tells me is called "Chernyshevsky" -after his favourite Philosopher [see "The Aethetic Relation of Art to Reality" Nikolai Gavrilovich Chernyshevsky (1828-1889) ].


Master Crolla won the competion for Sartorial Presentation during this session despite strong competion - seen below. Ski and Runner Boy are caught here providing Bodyguards for Master Tom.




Ski here proving he is spending too much time in the company of Craig Mclean, getting muscles where others have ...............[fill in here] while one other Superhero and a disconobulated glowing Robin YasumitsuDansan looks on :-(

Schlapp up - REPORT

A well good night - many thanks to Gwyn who put it together. 30 souls gathered in the Pizza Express in Wilmslow for a grand evening and presentation led ably by Prof Tom Crolla who welcomed himself into the madhouse with a fine speech and, then raffled a bottle of Champers in aid of the Dave Rayner Fund. Here we can see Prof Tom wondering how he can politly tell John King he has made a sartirical foux-pas with his blancmange-hat used for the raffle.


The bottle was won by Maggs - Ski's lady friend from Poland. It seems that Ski was rather chuffed.

Our DSQ & Deck em trophy was deservedly won by Wolfie who did the triple - got knocked off, knocked someone else off and got DSQ'd - all in the same race! And then decked imself a few more times in the year. Mr Jonathon [yeah, still got a hangover]Norfolk presented the coveted trophy.



Gold Awards too for Mrs Tracy Crolla [racing], Prof Tom Crolla [speeches], Carol Wolfie [sewing], The Huffster [Skin resurfacing], J. King esq [Jester] and Gwyn Carless [Schlapp up organising].


Here Prof Tom Crolla is talking to one of his many admirers.

As a way of a short, incomplete and inaccurate round up of the year, the Schlapps have 5 World Champions for 2006, three world record holders, loads of nationals champions, even more national medallists and above all, the best group of people riding under banner that can be - anywhere [beat that!].

All those who could not make it missed a grand night out!

Jo Wilman wins overall

So, on her new TRIGON track bike, Jo Wilman trashed the opposition and won the TL overall. Great riding from this cool dudess. About her new bike Jo said "absolutely brilliant!" then some other stuff that I didn't fully understand cause twas written in texty stylee and i've only just got rid of my fountain pen. But I get the firm idea Ms Wilman thinks it's a really nice machine.
See young Jo at the Rev this Sat!
Mikey, one of the new young uns in the klub was second overall too. Not a bad result for the Schlapps.
Mr Wilman provided the transport home.

Win for Mr Wilman

...........at the Friday TL. No doubt spurred on by a dream of a shiny new black bike to ride. Just like the won Jo W is riding - who got a 2nd place this evening.
Look out for for birth of Trigon [translation; Means 'three bottoms' in an Asian langage I'm reliably told].

Shlapptastic

While Jon N & Ski tinkle the ivories and try to get their Boy Band [Take This] together to outdo young Yasumitsusan Dan, some riders are racing their little hearts out on the TL.
This weeks efforts on Friday League saw Jo Wilman take a win and 2 second places [we expect no less],Mikey had the same win total of placing too, while Chris H had a second place and Mr Wilman was left wondering where it all went wrong!
