Captain Colonial Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 The New Membership Secretary's Great Stoneleigh Giveaway OK boys and girls, here's your chance to get a bargain. A bargain? I like bargains! Of course you do! Here it is: One pair of Willans three-point harnesses in red, circa 1992. No tears, no damage, fully functional in every respect, they held yours truly in place for many a mile. They're a little faded, they could use a good clean, and one set has a few black spots on the lap belt, but nonetheless they are operational and ready to go (if not completely ready to show). A really clever person could probably dye them black if they wanted to... (Disclaimer: At your own risk, as I have no idea what your dye would do to these belts. You could have some dodgy fluid for all I know. Heaven knows where you find that stuff. I've seen you looking through eBay. On your lap be it...) Obviously, I make no warranty and take no responsibility for the condition of these belts - it's up to you to inspect them and decide if you want them or not, and once you take them, they're yours. Of course, you may inspect them to your heart's delight before committing. And as I said, they're a bargain. Yeah, yeah, so you said, just get on with it it - how much? They will cost you precisely one pint of beer. That's all? Yep. One pint of beer. But... There's a few catches... I ruddy well knew it, flaming ruddy Yanks, you're all the same! Naturally. You didn't think it would be that simple, did you? So here's the catches - you have to be a current WSCC member (but not a committee member); you have to wait until and attend Stoneleigh (I will be there both days); and you have to find me at some point after 1 PM and say the following phrase as the first thing out of your mouth: "You are the new WSCC Membership Secretary, and I hereby claim my prize!". You may then view the belts and if you still want them, you buy me a pint (and maybe a burger - I've just changed the rules). Simples! That doesn't sound too hard... It isn't, except one thing - you don't know what I look like, and I'm not going to tell you.what I look like. That means the ones who want the belts are going to have to work for it and will be wandering around saying that phrase to people who aren't me and looking like nut cases. Further, you might say it to me and then find out too late that the belts are already gone. Try and find me...! Remember, if you don't say that phrase first, you lose. Even a "hello" first will disqualify you. You are a very bad man. I know. But if you want free belts, you'll have to do it. See you at Stoneleigh!

Captain Colonial Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 Yeah, but I know what YOU look like and can avoid you after 1, or make you talk before 1 by putting beer in your hand!

Captain Colonial Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 Well, no one claimed the belts today, so they're still up for grabs at any point after 10 AM so filfan, you are still in with a chance!
