Sorry you weren’t able to make it Ralph, Jim Wilkinson was in his element, you would have enjoyed it. I will put a few pics up tomorrow when i figure out how to transfer them to the pc from my phone. It was great to see more old firms drivers make it.

hiya,
Another good do, looking forward to the next one big thanks to Bumper for getting “Old Waldo” to attend he enjoyed it and it was his birthday as well, he’s well named it being St Georges day, i’m just sorry i could’nt get the chain and tensioner off his wallet but you managed to get him there and he did buy me a drink the pain of doing that will go away in time, if he’d still been in business he’d have wanted me to do a day’s work in return, a good day again and thank you.

hiya,
Thanks for the concern Dave, i’m in pretty fair nick this morning have only required a bottle of Magners cider to get me in tip top shape but will try a drop of the harder stuff as the day wears on, the “old lady” is working, “i need the money” so little chance of being bombarded with abuse for today at least, the trouble being is she only works four ten hour shifts so for three days i am treading on dangerous ground she’s talking about retiring in October she will be 69 but i am trying my hardest to talk her out of it her being here twenty four seven will curtail me a bit, anyway a good day was had by all and i’m already saving up for the next one, great bunch of lads.
thanks harry long retired.

Again had another good day putting faces to names & meeting some of the other members from last time now for the next

Thanks for those that take the time to organise these “do”

Hope to get to the “Rally” in June
