Looks like you've got a good day for the Retreat.

Sorry we can't make it, but it's our Footy Girls summer party in the DFC clubhouse, and they serve alcohol and CH doesn't.

No contest !

Hope it goes well and I await your comments later.

Hello John.

Looks like I missed both you and DBTS. I managed to have a chat with Mrs. C., though.

The Band were on fine form, as usual, and the weather was perfect (about time, too).

Glad it was a good day for all.

Has the band scrapped the buglers ?

Did Plummo book his table at the Bax ?

I did not meet any of the Forum members and have not met BDTS or any of 'The Ladies' yet.
At the next 'big do' we really ought to have a 'Forum Meeting Place' so that we can all connect.
I took 576 photographs during the afternoon so I might have a few members on digital film.
