Black Awards Anyone? - A chance to reward Incompetence

[Krazyken]

Some years ago when I owned a Westfield I started the Black Awards at the Bristol & Bath WSCC AGM.  Basically if someone does something daft, forgetful or outright stupid then let me know, even better if they try to keep it quiet.  All of this will be recorded then at the end of the year at the BKCC AGM we can have the Black Awards for members misdameaunors to be unearthed and rewarded in a suitable manner.

Past examples include a WSCC member who "knew" the way to Stoneleigh got lost within 2 miles and took the whole convoy through the middle of the Badminton Horse Trials.  He was awarded a paper bag at the AGM to practice finging his way out of. 

Another member topped up his oil before going on track and forgot to screw the oil filler cap back on.  He was awarded a 10ml vial of engine oil to keep in reserve in case he ever did it again.

What we need are examples along those lines however trivial or significant (e.g. Tony Wallnuts parking) so that we can have our own version of the Oscars.  For that we need lots of nominations so that we can form catagories for a suitable award in each catogory.  We can also have an Honorary Black Award for the overal winner which in the spirit of the awards will actually be a prize worth having.

So there is the challenge, feel free to dob in a mate, dish the dirt and all other good things in the name of club comararderie and entertainment.  I do not exclude myself from this either so if I do something worthy of a nomination feel free to tell Dave or Phil.  See me at the club meets or PM me with the nominations and we will hopefully have a good selection at the end of the year.

[Krazyken]

There are now 3 nominations to date, please keep them coming.  Also bear in mind that the overal winner will have a prize worth having.

I would like to nominate Wallnut and Johnny Morris, for their joint particular skill in trying to reheat a cottage pie at Stoneleigh, Anna came to the rescue, turned the oven on and they did manage to eat before it got too dark!

Seconded

I know I should not be nominating myself for this award, but here goes anyway. I decided to go to Queens Sq. this morning, checked my oil and water, drove as far as the Bristol ring rd. Openend the car up a bit to see if my overdrive was working, and bang, my bonnet flew up broke the two hinges, missed my wind deflecters but not my head, it nearly knocked me out. Yes, Id forgoten to do the four spring catches holding the bonnet down. The bonnet, after hitting my head bounced off into the grass bank with little damage other than the two hinges and a bump on my head. So I put the bonnet back on using just the four springs and carred on to Queens Sq. still feeling a bit groggy. But alls well that ends well. Quite a good turn out, or perhaps I was seeing double

                                                                                                                                 Tony

Oopppps - I bet that came tight.

Hope there's no underlying brain damage

[Krazyken]

Thanks for the nominations, with a few others I have received we are now up to 7 so far this year.  If you all carry on at this rate we will have to book a conference room for our version of the Oscars.

[Bulldog Bri]

Hope your ok Tony. 

[RMW50]

Tony,

If it only hit you on the head you should be OK!

I do hope that it didn't ruin your hair.

[Denzle]

Close shave Tony.  Glad all was OK in the end and no damage to either.

                                       Denzle...

Guys & Gals

Have you forgotten about this one as the nominations seem to have dried up in the last month?  So far we have 17 nominations for the BKCC version of the "Oscars".  With all the recent shows & events there must have been some more opportunities for more nominations.

Remember you can PM me if you want to keep it quiet so that you can suprise your "friend" and fellow BKCC member when the nominations are read out and rewarded at our AGM at the end of the year.

['The Gaffer']

Very quiet here at the moment Ken but looking forward to the awards ceremony

[Krazyken]

With only 2 months to go for our first AGM when the Black Awards will be dished out, I have to date 17 nominations including would you believe one for me!!

I have not had a single nomination for about 2 months and I can not believe that there are not at least some club members who are worthy of a nomination in that time.  The more nominations we have the more fun the awards evening will be, so keep them coming in.

The plan for the AGM is to find a suitable pub with a private room, lay on a buffet (yes Hairy Santa that means food) then have a very entertaining and social evening.  Please keep those nominations coming in.
