Friday afternoon, (6 February) before leaving home, I watched the 1 'o clock news on BBC1 to see what the snow was doing. According to the BBC only fools and arctic explorers should venture further than their front garden, and then only if you're equipped with a sled and huskies! I was/had neither... but I had a job to do and my members were expecting a good weekend's backgammon, so off I jolly well went, with Sharen riding shotgun in case we were set upon by polar bears.

Snow? What snow? During the 90 mile trip from Lincoln to Daventry the only snow I saw was that in my driveway and that which greeted me in the hotel carpark! Snow and Neil Young, who had been daft enough to leave Bristol and travel up with his sons. He too only saw snow when entering the carpark. Others then began arriving, Myke Wignall, Paul Gilbertson, Rosey Bensley, Marcus Wrinch. More arrived later.
