Happy Birthday to us

Something happened the other day...

No really it did!

Someone joined Tunnel Soc.

They haven't done that for ages! We now have 471 members. Which is not bad considering we are now nearly a year old!

"A year old" I hear you cry! Yes Tunnel soc came into inception on the 23rd feb 2006. A fact nobly recorded on our website. Which of course means it's time to have a party. (Probably in the Stag). More than that it's time to buy presents.

Yes this is what I want you to do. Go out and buy something crap, inexpensive and tunnel themed. Better still make a present. Again this should be tunnel themed.

For example: The cardboard from the centre of your recently depleted bog roll. A small mound of earth. A sock you have not yet finished knitting. A torch. The record "Going Underground" by the Jam. A Cadbury's Cream Egg. Membership of the British Tunneling Society. A picture of the Tunnel which you have drawn (hint...could just be a black piece of paper).

Then take your present, wrap it up, write on it "To" then write the name of some poor jaded soul who weighed down with cynicism desperately needs to drink of the milk of human kindness. Then add "Just because Tunnel Soc is one year old..." Then write the e-mail address join@boldrewoodtunnelsoc.com and the address www.boldrewoodtunnelsoc.com underneath and leave it somewhere where the person who's name is written after 'To' will find it.

Then feel good about yourself because you did something for someone else and I respect you for that. Well done.

We really have to do this. If we don't it could have been in vain.

Re-open the Tunnel!
