The CHRC committee has announced that the negotiations to merge Edinburgh’s two greatest hill running clubs have been completed.
An HBT representative is quoted “The new FRA rules made a club whose main point of contact is a field quite unsustainable. We were told we had to list all obstacles that may be encountered on the way to the Meadows, such as the serious danger of club members becoming lost in the children’s playground. Since no-one in HBT has access to anything other than brown crayons, and the FRA require risk assessments to be completed on parchment in quill pen, we figured the game was up. For this reason HBT has chosen to join with CHRC where we can be looked after by people who know which end of a fountain pen is safe to chew.”
CHRC President Willie Gibson announced “Like a shepherd retrieving his lost brown sheep, we welcome HBT into the Carnethy fold. To show our love and general niceness we will be changing our club colours to make the arriving HBTs feel at home, and from now on we will cry ‘C-H-R-C-H-B-Teeees!’ at the start of every race.”
