London Marathon
From Claire Summerscale:
I'm always proud of my Pride & Prejudice team, but especially so today, as two members of the team have completed the London Marathon, raising thousands of pounds for charity. Congratulations to Rosalind Kieran (photo below) and Cathy Forbes.
Rosalind pounded round in the frankly outstanding time of 3 hours 29 minutes 44 seconds, finishing in an amazing 422nd place, out of the 35,044 people who started the Marathon.

4NCL Rapidplay
As I'm sure you're already aware, Californian metallers Linkin Park and East Coast rapper Jay-Z are appearing at Milton Keynes on the weekend of 28-29 June.
The good folks at Harben House therefore advise that teams planning to play in the 4NCL Rapidplay should book their rooms sooner rather than later as available accommodation is likely to become scarce fairly quickly.

Max has already attended his first 4NCL Board meeting and provided a lot of valuable input. Our thanks to all of the team captains who participated in the voting process, and to Stephen Hilton, who also put his name forward as a candidate.
