Over the last fifteen years the "Meanderthals" have increased from two or three friends going walking together to a group of fifteen gentlemen eight to ten of whom regularly turn out each Thursday . There have been instances when we have had to say "Sorry, but no." to someone wishing to join us :-
Applicants.
Humphrey Dumpster. A jovial fellow with a penchant for scaling walls. As we frequently encounter dry-stone walls on our walks we did not wish to be responsible for the results of any "Great Falls".
Application rejected
Jack Hills . A previous tumble had left Jack with serious cranial damage which had not been properly treated and a strong personal odour (vinegar) did not endear him to the members,
Application rejected
William Winkey. This diminutive chap turned up in his Jim-Jams and a woolie hat claiming that he did have a "Onesie" for winter walks. This left us no alternative.
Application Rejected.
Barry Bannion. Seemed perfect until we discovered that his application form had been filled in by his Probation Officer who later informed us that Barry was considered the " Black Sheep" of his family.
Decision - Application rejected
Thomas Tomme. Was immediately turned away because of a conviction for the theft of pork
Application rejected.
Simon (Surname not provided - Not the most intelligent chap) Did actually join us for one walk but constant consumption of pies had led to serious obesity. He dropped out after the first half mile
Application withdrawn.
KIngsley Coleman. A elderly, rather urbane chap we didn't entirely trust. He seemed to be involved in too many "Fiddles" and - What was in that bowl that he put in his pipe to smoke?
Application - not considered.
Andrew Windsor. Whilst his hill walking credentials were second to non His request to bring along ten thousand men would have rather spoiled the gentle bucolic nature of our walks. Recent (as yet unproven ) allegations were also rather disquieting.
Application rejected.
