We had a fair
turnout, with one new member joining (welcome to Li Tai Wah) and one lady
visitor, Sabrina, who took on the role of race steward for the Circus
Maximus.

Well, after a long absence from the arena, we saw
the return of chariot racing in the Circus Maximus, using the Avalon
Hill rule set. Six chariots started the race, with Tony and
Lawrence as rank outsiders at odds of 17:1. With but one
length to go, 3 chariots were neck and neck at the final bend -
Lawrence, Peter Munn and Andrzej. Newbie Lawrence's chariot
carried the day (and the pot of $340!).
