Red Nose Week takes over in Meribel
Not to be outdone by silliness taking place in the
UK, Meribel pulled out all the stops in a valley rally with a difference.
Compulsory fancy dress saw some of the strangest sights on the slopes
seen yet this season and held a few suprises for the contestants.

And it gets sillier...
With over fourty teams taking part, registration
was frantic, the teams setting off at two minute intervals from
La Taverne in the centre of town. The only rule was that there are
no rules, and sabotage was rife with car key theft and the liberation
of skis and boards at bubble midstations. Each station held a new
challenge and a new clue, and the competitors finished at the Rondpoint
in a rather less sober state than at the start...
Results
The actually winners overall were Sponsored by the
Wizard, although there were prizes for fancy dress, most drunken
individual racer and the inevitable booby prize for the slowest
team. Many prizes were donated locally, much beer was drunk and
a good time was had by all. And, best of all, heaps of cash was
collected by each team throughout the day, and it was all for a
legitimate good cause. Thanks to everyone who took part.
