OK, so 'sweep' might be overstating it a touch, but the Otters made a pretty impressive impact in their first year of Chertsey Show activity. The awards we know about so far are listed below, but please please let me know if I've missed you out. Irrespective of the medals and glory your entries may have achieved, huge thanks to everyone who took the time and made the effort. It's the taking part that counts, after all.

Like donning a pair of backless chaps, it's time to get out of your comfort
zone and expose yourself to some competition. ...

ReplyDeleteBrilliant fun! Bit gutted that the old boy didn't present us with rosettes (I've wanted one since I was 6) and am STILL laughing at my brother's perfectly timed Little Britain comment during the prize giving...well done for getting the Otter Onslaught show on the road...bring on 2010!!
