Mixed weather greeted the Carter Garden Party held in honour of the visit of the VC, CWSC & CFAC to Lincoln on 24th June, which co-incided with the birthday of the WRC classics consultant, Bob Howard (BA, Oxon), who is endowed with both O-levels in Greek & Latin, which is no more than you would expect of any servant of the Club. Unsurprisingly, the food and drink were well up to the usual standard of fayre the Cox provides and also unsurprisingly, the Chairman, First Lady and parents were the last to leave. It was good to see not only the VC back at the parental home, but also the family Elliott, whose oldest daughter seems to be embracing all the best of family traits, those of a friendly, sociable & outgoing disposition and a marked disinclination towards going thirsty on such occasions.

Vivat Carters, and good to see the family pile back in good working order after the horrors of earlier this year.
