Here's a few pics to catch up a bit and to blow my own horn. Yea me!! lol
Last Sat. was the AGM of the Tyee Club of BC where the accomplishments of last year were rewarded with the appropriate trophies.
Somehow I managed to secure the Dr. Richard Murphy trophy for rowing the most new members in to the club last year. I tied with another rower but got my two first so got the nod.
Here's a few pics:
Table-o-Trophies........
Here's the "handshake shot" as I was formally awarded the award. My name is on the last plaque on this perpetual trophy and I also received a smaller but lovely little award for my wall.
My small achievement pales in comparison to eight year old Owen Lagos who took three trophies for his 43 lb. Tyee last year.
He's nine now so I moved we ban anyone under 10 from the pool this year but nobody seconded it and I'm not a member anyway so it died on the floor. [grin]
I did rub it in to him about our much larger 45 lb. Tyee last Friday nite and claimed how lucky he is that I'm old and slow........a year slow in this case it turns out.
Then I made fun of his trophy too, the "stuffed crow award".
He's a great little kid and comes from a neat family too.
Props to him for sure.
But I'm still gonna hassle the little guy, just on general principles. lol
I'll update the catch report later or you can check it at
www.tyeeclub.org too.
Take care.
