The Mike Boardman V’s Terry Walters Weight OFF
28th January - 14th April weigh in dates after the final whistle.
Two Leviathans of Redingensians Club rugby have after a lifetime of eating drinking and general carousing, decided to ease the burden on the third world food crisis and for the sake of local government and your rates bills reduce wear and tear on pavements. By eating a little less, drinking in near moderation and exercising a little more. By which supreme efforts these two majestic beasts hope to lose ‘some’ mass, but without hopefully changing the gravitational pull of the earth and sending the moon spinning out into deep space.
It is not without some trepidation that Mike after his Christmas message to the Nation, in which he shared his wish to lose three stone; accepted the challenge from Terry. Quite how Mike intends to lose any weight at all is a complete mystery to the scientific community and the world at large. However, Terry who has been investing in body fat for the last twenty five years (unlike most other Endowments he has seen ample return on his investment) has due to the impending world food shortage, selflessly agreed to forgo all of the returns on his investment and donate three stone of suet to food aid. This donation will be made by way of displacement rather than amputation.
The ‘Bet’ is £25 from each of the protagonists; the challenge is to lose the greatest amount of weight by the last game of the season and the prize is that the winner will donate all of the money (£50) to the charity of his choice. You too can become involved; for the sum of £1 sterling you will earn yourself the opportunity to win £25 on the weight loss sweepstake, all proceeds going to the charity of the winner’s choice.
Mike is supporting The Willows Support Group http://thewillowroom.org.uk/
A group of people from the Reading who formed to support other people following the loss of their baby. Alison, my wife was a founder member of the Willow Support Group.
Terry is supporting Berkshire Air Ambulance
The weigh in will be at the Club on Saturday 28th January and the Weight Off will be at the Club on the 14th April or sooner if either participant is in danger of wasting away!! Indicative weights at this time is that Mike is slightly the heavier being about nineteen and a half stone, but Terry is not far behind given that he is trying to build up his weight for the trial to come, or so it would appear to all observing him waddling round the field of play.
For safety both participants will be under the watchful eye of Dr Hodgson and please be reminded that you should not attempt this at home, without medical supervision and advice from your GP (if you have a Guinea Pig that is).

Great idea. I'll keep my eye out for Mike, no sneaking in the Wheelwrights for Beer and chips on a Friday. Good luck.
So what are the opening weights? Answer in Imperial units please.
Donation required John 1st before public announcement!!
Hi to both, £10 per stone or part there of.
If Mike starts wasting away and it looks like its going to cost me, I'll meet you down the Wheelwrights for beers and pies.
OK Mike, I'll go One Pound Sterling for every One Ounce* Avoirdupois in the winning margin. Now how big are you?
Terry's very quiet. He must be out training.
* Younger readers should translate this as 28.35 grams.
Weights to be revealed once sterling has crossed our palms at the end of the weigh in which will be on 14th April, followed by beers and pizza!!!
