The Oldest Swinger In TownPresident Peter Lamb lasted as good as anyone on tour, thus earning the "Oldest Swinger In Town" award - not bad considering he's wearing Adie Barrett's cap The "Broken Door" award - not a green oneA door in the pavilion had suffered damage, and Howard was going to get to the bottom of it.
