As 9 men of SUWPC set out on one final voyage to the warm waters of the Basingstoke Aquadrome, spirits were high, despite missing our captain and top goal scorer Andrew Deans. Scholes’ Renault proved itself as more than just a machine by lugging Horlock, Heerema, Panos, and a hefty Lefty, up the M3.
