>Rumours :

>A. The Easter tour will henceforth be to the Isle of Anglesey. Because

>32 years of tradition has become stale and the event needs freshening up
>(e) as it's R's idea and he is organising it it will be "a better event".

>B. Trafford's track is to be dug up and replaced with 3M's latest purple
>and gold gunk. The existing maroon and white livery from Tartan is said to
>be too redolent of a long lost university running team. Well done
>Rockcliffe!
