VICTORIAN STATE RELAY CHAMPS. Report on the Website
Black Crows. There was a report of a couple of BC’s in the minutes published on 27 October, well here are a couple more.
I have it on very good authority that in a recent 24 hour rogaine a team made up of two or our top athletes entered under the name of the ‘Night Owls. I believe that they slept for the greater part of the night – which wasn’t very Night-Owlish’!
Another team entered under the team name of ‘Nothing’ and I am told that that was the number of points they earned.
