hi all,
that caerphilly beer is taking a while to go didn’t rowly and kelvin mention this mob the other night?glamorgan upholstery.

Hi all, iirc Glamorgan Upholstry was a spin off from Christie Tyler or one of the many upholstery outfits operating in the 80’s.
A couple of ex managers got together and set up shop.

Looks as if everyone had a good night in Caerphilly, any more pic’s?

Regards Paul.
