I was in Jindrichuv Hradec[1] in 1991. Beer was 20p a bottle, 12p draft IIRC. The lake was frozen
(as it was January), and I'd been given advice that the weather was fine, so I wore jeans, T shirt
and a leather jacket in -20 degrees C. Trying to pronounce the name of the place was impossible
until you'd drunk a quids worth of the beer...

[1]Yes it is a real place, and yes it is in the Czech Republic, and in a different character set for
that matter - pedants please imagine an upside-down "^" over the first "r", and a little circle
over the "u".

I kept cycling around the Cafe tent area but could see anyone ressembling URC, I could only see
'normal' people.

Bit too busy on the track on Sunday to have time to look at times

Can't have been when I was around, then - nothing normal about me!

The Master list showed pitch 19, which contain a tent on Friday evening and a bicycle with Helen's
name on, not that she rides it any more.

I was wearing a name badge throughout my time on the Knavesmire.
