Just over a month from now, I’ll be representing my adopted nation in some World Championships.
It’s not quite the Olympics, but it is an official World Championships and it is all for a good cause.
Bring forth – The World Tin Bath Race:
As far as I am aware, I am the only competitor from South Africa, probably the only competitor from Africa. And thus, a huge responsibility falls upon my shoulders. This is bad news, as I am not small anyway and will almost certainly sink. The event, organised by the brilliantly-named Castletown Ale Drinkers Society, has been going for longer than I’ve been around, and I’m determined to give it the best go possible.
I hope that I can rely on your support for this, and I will be checking which SuperSport channel it will be broadcast on.
