A plane full of definites – NAC Shine in Lanzarote: Winter Racing in the Sun

Bogusboy reports from Costa Teguise

Newcastle Athletics Club swapped the winter chill for the Lanzarote sunshine as a determined squad took on the island’s famous endurance festival. When the trip was first mooted there was a lot of enthusiasm. In typical fashion this dissipated quickly with all but the stalwarts fading one by one. The club chairman was a definite to the bitter end until he realised that he had to source a diamond tipped spark plug for the Jag, thus rendering him unavailable. Others could not leave their underlings to manage change and transform lives and so they could not go, though the FOMO was hanging out of them!!!
