Ok, we're gonna do it again.
Hans contacted the OtP team last week.
He asked if were all interested in trying to put on another "Over the Pond"?
We all agreed (even Harry) and we RE-formed the Team.
Hans is Boss (as usual),
(Ted) I'm Chief Slave Laborer,
Spencer is Banker,
Harry is Sub Slave Laborer/Peon/Artist.
Hans layed out the basic plan...
Here it is..........
This one will be called Over the Pond XI (2012).
(Hans named it this "because" it will be the 11th time we've put on Over the Pond, and it will be the year 2012).
Simple,,, huh??
The Traveler will be someone from North America.
The Traveler will be going to Europe to ride with the GCE Folks in Italy.
The trip will take place in approx August. (exact Date to be determined)
Are ya'll interested in helping us put on another Over the Pond????
We are going to need your help!!!!
We will officaially start the nomionations in January.
Start thinking about who you want to nominate.
(Hint/hint/hint) OtP Slave laborers are eligible to be nominated this year!!!!!
Pledges can start "now".
I pledge to pick on Harry all year!
Whack, pop, poooooowwww,, pop, ping, floggity, flog, flog,, FLOGGGG
(Flog-O-Matic sounds)
Dratt!!! Aw heck! Ok, OK Hans,,,, "Otay"!!!! I guess that I will also pledge $50.00
Watch for the official Over the Pond XI (2012) announcement in the Next Concourier.....
Ride safe, Ted <evil grin> OtP "Chief" Slave Laborer....
Your correct. Ya should send me!!
But, I've been known to lie about my qualifications!!!
Ted's theme song;
Ohhh, It's hard to be humble when your perfect in ev-er-reee way..
"I" cain't wait ta look in the mirror,,,,, "I" get better lookin' each day!!!!
Ya'll are welcome to sing along if'n ya want.....
But, Mebbe I'd better "X"plain somethin',,,
"The" Over the Pond "Chief" Slave Laborer is NOT eligible....
Bottom line is: I can't/won't BEG you guys for money and be the guy that goes.... (Wouldn't be Cool, and (besides) others are FAR more qualified that I could ever be)
Many other Members are eligible... Send in their names!!!
"And",, while yer at it,,,,, start sending your pledges to Hans..... hans-ove.gortz@telia.com
We need ta know how much muney we can expect to collect fer whomever wins!!
Here is how you do it:
Title; "OtP X (2012) Pledge"
I would like to PLEDGE $1000 (in honor of Ted Adcock) for this years Over the Pond.
I feel I need to do this because; he has put on Multiple COG events,
worked at numerous COG Nationals,
been "OtP's" Chief Slave Laborer for 10 years,
has put up with Harry Martin (OtP Jr/Peon Slave Laborer) for 8 years,,,
has survived Hans Floggings for 10 years,,
But, Most of all, I want to nominate Ted because he is a really "nice guy"....
Signed,,, Harry Martin <evil grin> :rotflmao:
Ride safe, Ted Over the Pond "Chief" Slave Laborer
Just a reminder when it comes to pledging money to OtP XI you don't need to make your donation as a lump sum. Do what I did last year and donate a comfortable amount for you each month. When you do that for 4-6 months you have painlessly made a nice donation to support the Over the Pond program. Just click on the image below to get started.

That is a GREAT idea and It would be nice if you can do as Mike sed,
but at this point, you don't "have" to send in yer money.
Right now,,,,, a simple pledge would help get the ball rolling....
Jest tell Hans what you plan to contribute....
See my instructions above...
Ride safe, Ted
That is a GREAT idea and It would be nice if you can do as Mike sed,
