Editor's Notes

  • #2 Thank you for that introduction. Good morning athletes! I usually use that greeting when I walk into my classroom and I am used to receiving back a “good morning Mr Boyle”. So lets try that again please! Hello everybody! Who was out late last night? Who is feeling a little tired today? Who is suffering from too many refreshments last night? Who got up and exercised this morning?
