This week we have pleasure in welcoming an expected guest to the spot of honour at the top of the Tommy Atkins Sports Parade. He is sailorboy Stanton who, with only limited time for practice, took part in the recent New Territories Army Cycling Association 10 Miles Time Trial and turned in such a fine performance that he broke the Colony record for the distance.
Stanton is from IIMS Morecambe Bay and his suc- cess is another example of the worth of the facilities provided by the NTAČA.
