BUT, the birth of the Sprite WAS the birth of the Spridget, too. A little
difficult to perceive at the time, perhaps, but no less true for all that.
Just remember, it isn't so much that we are celebrating the birth of the
Midget as it is that we are grasping at opportunities to get together
again with as many Spridgeteers as possible. Perhaps we should just
have one of these every year in a different part of the country... no, I
suppose the other clubs already have this idea covered. A little
embarrassing that the European Spridgets were able to gather nearly 1,000
Spridgets at Gaydon and we didn't even get 200, despite the fact that more
were sent here than stayed home.
