| The Chap & Hendricks 2008 Olympiad |
| Written by Count Silvio | |

 A date has been set for the fifth annual Chap Olympiad: Saturday 12th July. This year's Olympiad will feature a few changes to previous Olympiads. First of all, no tickets will be required and entry will be gratis.
The 2008 Olympiad will be held at a secret location, which guests will be able to deduce only by collecting seven tokens from named Chappish retail outlets in the London area. The clues revealed in each token will add up to a precise description of the co-ordinates of our Field of Champions for this year. Cracking the co-ordinates will put Chaps' and Chapettes' orientation skills to the test, and will effectively constitute the first Olympic event of the tournament.
Non-London residents may acquire the seven tokens by sending an S.A.E. to:
The Chap Olympiad, PO Box 39216, London SE3 0XS. Tokens will not be sent before 1st July.
These are the emporia to visit, plus the utterances that will secure you a token:
I need a pipe tobacco that will last a hundred yard sprint.
I'm looking for a bowler hat that will offer protection from flying saucers.
Which of your brogues would allow for the swiftest getaway from a furious lady?
Could I have my moustache trimmed in the Leslie Phillips style, please?
I'm looking for a raincoat that will withstand several hundred spilt martinis.
Is the memory man available? I've forgotten where I left my umbrella.
My aunt has suggested I invest in a pair of velvet jodhpurs. Can you help her?
The Chap Olympiad 2008. 1-6pm, Saturday 12th July. Tokens will be available until the day of the Olympiad.
