This is a new award – in keeping with the character of a Yorkshire 41 Club to be held annually and initially at the infamous ILKLEY White Rose Dinner on October 19th 2012
Here’s How it works:
A After Dinner, and after the rendition of THE QUEEN and THE YORKSHIRE ANTHEM ( that is …Ilkley Moor Bar t’a’t – for the ignorant) National Councillor Andy Waite will ask the Brass Band to play the Dam Busters March
B Club members – will attire themselves in FALSE HANDLEBAR MOUSTACHES, RED BARON BERETS, TATTY OLD FLYING HELMETS, BIGGLES BADGES, AND OTHER PSEUDO RAF WINGS……
C Club members will stand on their chairs with arms outstretched -imitating the flying bombing runs of the Avro Lancaster Bomber – during and in time to the music – whilst ‘humming ‘ the tune – at the tops of their voices.
Inspection and judgement of the various and ridiculous displays will be undertaken with great severity by members of WHITE KNIGHTS 41 CLUB – who will report their findings to National Councillor Andy WAITE.
Judgement will be based upon the following :-
1 the most intrepid and noisy flight made by the most improbable pilot and crew………………..
2 the pilots being those suitably attired and standing and flying on their chairs
3 the crew being the most active in support and comprised of the balance of people on the same table.
There will be one single prize – a bottle of CHAMPERS……..WHICH MUST BE DRUNK – FROM THE NECK…..BY THE WINNING PILOT AND CREW…….IMMEDIATELY…!!!!
Here’s to success……!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PER ARDUA AD ASTRA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
