Hello to all readers - of our Readers Letters Page. First this week a mail from our beloved Captain:

Dear Fellow Committee,

I am concerned that following Tommy Horne's disgraceful behaviour at our recent smoker, he has rarely been seen in public. Do you think he is deliberately keeping a low profile in order to avoid the wrath of the Committee?

Yours disciplinarily,

Captain Campbell.

Dear Captain Campbell,

I think it's fair to say we were all upset with Horne's despicable performance at our flagship event of the year. To be completely fair however, the blame for the debacle should not lie entirely at Horne's door. There are others, who shall remain nameless, who really should have acted in a more responsible manner. Yes, you've guessed, Pete Coutie and his son-in-law (pictured) who plyed the hapless old codger with far too much alcohol, must accept at least some of blame. It has to be said however that Horne remains un-repentant. At the end of the evening, when Horne was informed by yourself that he may well be the subject of a disciplinary hearing, he was heard to rant "I've been up before bigger xxxxxholes than you in the Navy, now f - off". Not really a very contrite attitude! As for him not being seen too often in public - we are not sure. Perhaps some other members can throw light on this?

Yours disgustedly, The Rest of The Committee.

As chance would have it, a mail from one of our members who has inside info:

Dear Sir, I heard you were worried about one of your more senior members not having been seen for a few days. I can reveal that Tommy Horne had a rather unfortunate accident last week. In his rush to nip out for a pint in the Golf at lunchtime (avoiding the Station bar - for obvious reasons), he forgot that he had left his teeth on the mantlepiece. When he returned several hours later, he was horrified to discover that his canine companion, the Big Mutt, had eaten his bottom set! Tom has therefore had to remain indoors pending receipt of a new set of nashers. The photos show Tom moments after realising he had no teeth left and the offending mutt (not Mr McNicoll). Yours clipeingly, Anon.

and finally, a rather thoughtful mail:

From: WILMA REID <wilma19@btopenworld.com> To: admin@stationmasters.org.uk Subject: ENFIELD WINNERS - MEEK AND NOT-SO-MILD!	All headers

As winners of the Enfield Trophy, it was unfortunate that neither Dave Meek nor myself was able to attend the prize giving evening. We thoroughly enjoyed (and richly deserved!) our game and eventual victory over Rab Low and Willie Spark, but I would like to mention, if I may, our semi-final match opponents, Arliss Rhind and Dave Ritchie. Arliss donated the Enfield Trophy in memory of his late wife, Dorothy, and from the time we spent in his company, it was very evident that she meant a great deal to him. Thanks again to all for making the competition so enjoyable. The Green Tractor Man PS - thought you'd like to see the magnificent trophy with it's even more magnificent recipients.

Dear Norman,

Despite the fact that neither you nor your playing partner could be bothered coming to the presentation, for once we agree with your sentiments. Well done to you and Dave and many thanks to Arliss and all our trophy donors, all the winners and all those who entered the competitions. Better make the most of it ..... that's the last time you'll get your hands on that trophy!

Yours congratulatedly,

The Committee.

KEEP THE MAILS COMING IN FOLKS - MORE NEXT WEEK
