Another visit from Head Office on 13-05-2012 "Oxford town and gown race"

Chris, the London crew are meeting tomorrow eve to discuss the finer points of riding with chimney sweep brushes, so if you'd like them to bring you one or two I'd put a post up on the main rides and races thread or send Bernie a PM before tomorrow eve.

As Booga says spare rods should be available from any of the larger trade places - apparently the chimney sweep brushes fit on the rods used to clear drains.

Gents, great to see so many up for the meet.

We will haul all the brush heads we have with us. It will give us at least 3, possibly 4, spares for you. If you can source the rods, that would be most appreciated. I am hoping there is at least one family member/local pumber/neighbour who could be persuaded to lend the rods, for a few hours.

Charity have also been on to me, and are really excited about our participation. So, main thing is flat cap, red scarf/neckchief, black/brown jacket and trousers, and burnt cork for face soot.

Am sending PM later today with a contact list with all the known mobile numbers. If yours is missing, please feel free to add in your details, and "reply to all."
