Event Guide
Welcome to ‘The Cornwall Physio Scrooge’, and congratulations on booking yourself a
space on this years event. Designed to bring a little pre Christmas cheer, ‘The
Scrooge’ is by no means an event for the faint hearted! After all, "external heat
and cold had little influence on Scrooge. No warmth could warm, no wintry weather
chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snow was more intent
upon its purpose, no pelting rain less open to entreaty. Foul weather didn't know
where to have him!" So, you will need to wrap up and tough it out, its short and sweet
but its still MudCrew.
Don’t expect too many trinkets or treats, Scrooge “was a tight-fisted hand at the
grindstone… a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old
sinner”, so we see no need to be any different, with just one exception, we like to help
our friends down at the hospice, so we have sent them some humbugs... and a bag of
gold coins.
Merry Christmas
