Then in 2017 she won 3 times being 23rd section D 220th open from Buckingham a distance of 291 miles; she was then into the Bedhampton race a distance of 367 miles and won 79th section D but No open prize.

Joe’s Joke
A grieving woman faints from shock after reading an email she never expected.
A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter.
They decided to stay at the same hotel were they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier.
Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel plans. So, husband left Minneapolis and flew down to Florida on the Thursday with his wife flying down the next day.
The husband checked into the hotel there was a computer in his room so he decided to send an email to his wife. However, he accidently left out one letter in her email address …and without realizing his error, sent the email.
Meanwhile somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home after her husband’s funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack. The widow decided to check her email expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message she screamed and fainted. Her son rushed into the room and found his mother lying on the floor and saw the computer screen which read;
To; My loving wife
Subject; I’ve Arrived
