5) Star of the Week   Once again Gavin, our president earns the accolade for waiting for those who missed the start of Godfrey's walk on Sunday.  Not only did he set a brisk pace for the group to catch up he also had time to take photos!  It's always a good measure of pace when taking a photo leads to a 200m gap emerging.
