Friday
night was the annual dinner in honor of and support for a young Swiss Motocross
champion: Kevin Biffiger. (http://ktl-team.ch/)

In the
past it has been in February or March and I have always returned to spend that
weekend with my landlords to attend (he is my landlord’s grandson), staying
with them and we often had a group of 10. This year they waited until the
season had ended – unfortunately he had had a bad accident on the circuit and
broken his leg necessitating staying out of the races for some 18 months – to
make sure that things were going “normally”.
Returning
after such a long absence wasn’t easy, but he had managed to get back up to the
8th place by the end of the season.
A lovely
evening of delicious food, great entertainment and a tombola with many prizes
-including a week in Sardinia (one of the friends of the family is an Italian
who has a hotel in Sardinia: they spend time in Italy preparing for races and
he, Piero, regularly attends the dinners).
We bought
many tickets hoping to win that particular trip, but in the end it was a young
man. I wasn’t unhappy not to win the roller blades or hedge cutter! Never mind, next year is another year.
