TO STRIVE, TO SEEK, TO FIND, AND NOT TO YIELD

...though much is taken, much abides; and though

We are not now that strength which in old days

Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are-

One equal temper of heroic hearts,

Made weak by time and fate, yet strong in will

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Alfred Lord Tennyson

Brian sent this, forwarded on by Ned, and it sums up the spirit of the weekend. It shall be engraved on the trophy.

To quote the polar explorer Ernest Shackleton: The old dog for the hard road.
