Nationwide Nordic Nutters

"Happy to be one of the proud owners of the wooden spoon currently being hewn in a Viking boat yard from an oar for setting the slowest time in history!  But I am not deterred, look forward to seeing the same team next year whose shenanigans in the shebeen moved us up the overall table by several marks. "

"Oh! And I want my crash mat mattress back .... I pillaged it, don't see why the fairer sex should have the right to liberate it, especially with no offer of r**e!"

"Slante cajol argus boss in Eiren (A thousand cheers and may in die in Ireland )"

"Being first in the mixed team race in last year’s event, we returned in the hope that we could retain our position, but it wasn’t to be, finishing well down the table!  But the team were not deterred and after a few pints of Guinness in the Dufferin, we are as eager to return next year."

"A brilliant time was had by all and the Nationwide team wish to convey our thanks to all concerned for your hospitality and for organising such a splendid weekend.  The people of Killyleagh were as friendly and welcoming, some even remembering us from last year."

"Once again, many thanks and look forward to seeing you next May"
