Wakes Friday hosted a “Race Night Triathlon” involving balls, ferrets and “horses”.

If you took a Tuesday evening stroll along Smithy Lane this Summer, you may have heard the sound of clinking beer bottles, manic strumming, improvised accordions and uncontrollable laughter. This, ladies and gentlemen, was the sound of The A52s creating music. In the first week, the band learned some notes. In the second week, they [...]

I managed one very tasty burger before retreating to recover, so I missed the results.
It was a great evening. Well [...]
