Dodgy Photos
Well it was a great turn out on Friday, the only obvious
absentee was Phil G'day Sorah and he had a legitimate excuse. We'll expect to see you next year Phil. I only managed to take a few pics on Friday, I don't think they do full justice to the day's events.
Can't quite remember Neil's 'graphical' comment, but did remember that Pete has an obsession with A**l Cream Pie! I won't include the link, I think you can guess anyway......
