"I am told that this 'contest' I have been asked to lead involves the making of photographs, which are sent in via an 'email' service. I am totally unfamiliar with this technology. I think England and civilization in general took a giant step backward with the invention of the telegraph. People nowadays are in such a hurry, dashing across the Estate in motorcars at 25 miles per hour!"
Her feelings about technology notwithstanding, the Countess advises persons wishing to send photographs of the March cycling exploits to: membership@davisbikeclub.org A friendly valet will retrieve your message and place the photos in an online Flickr account that has been established for the contest.
"Please remind the female members of the club (good God, if there are any!) that photography may be practiced as a hobby only. Never, ever consider this as path to a career!"
The Dowager Countess Violet Crawley has graciously agreed to host this year's March Madness Photo Contest, part of the annual celebration of bicycling that helps raise money to purchase helmets for children in Yolo County.
