Out The Richmond Monkey
Monkey catchers unite. We *can* catch the Richmond Monkey, and here's how:
Monkey Cage
Put your name in, and then tick off from the choice, who you think it is. Not sure? Put up to 3 ticks. Someone not on the list who you suspect? Send me an email and I'll add them.
I haven't added all Richmond regulars, as some of you haven't been coming along for as long as the primate has been vandalising the blog. So unless someone suggests otherwise, you are eliminated from the list of suspects.

Congratulations to Mariette, who successfully completed the pool introduction.
Georgie, Gary and Toby meanwhile busied themselves with a spot of static.

Oh yes, it's ladies' night, and when the lane is right ( or left ), then Magda and Lo-u-i-se get it on, ( dynamic, oh yeah ).
Meanwhile, in the shallows, Mark manages to finally freak out the whole pool ( Scoobies as well ) with a rather spectacular demonstration blackout for the course attendees.
No-body doooes it better...

Being very dynamic tonight were Magda, Lawrence, Toby, Ross and Nick. Sleepy in static were Flavia, Brian, Theo and Mark. Theo gave us a lesson in minimalism ( or absent mindism ) by not having mask or noseclips. To finish things off properly, he shredded the top half of his wetsuit and cast it to one side.

Welcome tonight to Nick, who joined Toby and Mark in the dynamic lane.
Where has everyone gone? The answer is twofold. Firstly, the World Championships are on in Egypt. Secondly it is the Bank Holiday weekend. For prospective attendees waiting in the wings, please be patient - the introductory courses are on their way.

Dynamic demons tonight were Magda, Roy, Gary, Toby and Lawrence.
Static stallions were Georgie, Louise and Mark.
Big thanks to Anne-Marie for helping out with safety. On a disappointing note, I was asked to make payment for Anne-Marie for her doing this, even though she wasn't in the water (!) If someone gives up their time to help out, and with no benefit to themselves, I find it impossible to justify this. However, that appears to be one of the new 'rules' for us to abide, so in future be aware - once you go into the pool area, suited or not, pool fees are expected.

A big welcome tonight to Louise and Brian. Both had a go at static, and both scored 4m+ PB's. I'm impressed!
Also in the static corner were Lucia and Mark, while George, Toby, Ian and Gary contented themselves with dynamic.
