What ever happened to the Forum Flyers, once the mightest online team of them all? Beset by defectors, the Flyers are about to become a mere also ran. Is there any chance for us to compete in the upcoming virtual team challenge in January?<br /><br />Let's make Paul Harris, Emperor of the Nonathlon and long-time Flyer, our captain, and and as a recruiting tool, he could offer Nonathlon bonus points to team members.<br /><br />Tom

Have you ever seen "Space Cowboys"? I think a revival of the Flyers would be like that.<br /><br />The original team (BIRC 2001) was<br /><br />Yours truly<br />Nigel (of replay fame)<br />Roadrunner<br />Steve G<br />Andrew Dann<br />Canoeist<br />Plus two others - memory fails me<br /><br />Can anyone help out?

Scott Samuels ("Scooby") was also on the team that day. Mel Harbour also rings a bell, but can't be sure.

And sully the good (if roundly despised) name of the Nonathlon? Never!<br /><br /> <br /><br />I've even signed my wife up to help, in her own small way. And I've got another 10k I haven't entered yet - will that do?

Steve,<br /><br />The deed has been done - I even managed to nudge us up a place or two!<br /><br />We don't want Stephen Edwards on board - he's a a high rating slacker these days. Mind you, he has a good excuse - he's just become a father again, aged 54!<br /><br />We need Nigel to rejoin us - he's in good form at the moment.

Hi Forum Flyers. If you are still in need of some "female power" I am happy to hook up with what sounds like a great group. You may well have some better "talent" out there, so please let me know if you've already found someone else. Tom invited me, and I had a follow-up email from Rick as well. I am training for 2K racing, but can definitely put a strong 30 minute attempt in there next week. <br /><br />Thanks! Beth
