Jolly Crofters Fundraising Team

21st December 2009

During incident 93/2009, whilst transporting team members to their search area, a certain team leader who shall remain anonymous, but was honoured by Her Majesty with an MBE, managed to slide one of our Landrovers off the side of the track and bog it down in soft ground.

An appeal by this team leader for all team members (and some passing members of the public) not to take photographs of his predicament was of course totally ignored.



Garry’s offroad driving skills strike again!


Team member Fred Taylor had to show Mr. Anonymous Team Leader how to drive a Landrover out of a roadside ditch (youngest team member Matthew Hailwood was heard to comment “why doesn’t he just stick to his Renault Laguna?”).
