A great day. My heartiest congratulations to the Band and Band Master.
A relaxing glass or three at the Bax beforehand. (I'm not even going to mention all that champers, Richard ! Presentee or fee paying ?)
Nice to meet some fellow posters. The Great Plum and new spouse, Hendrik, and even the dreaded JT ! Shame DBTS sloped off to hide, though !

Where did I get the "dreaded" from??
Was a great day - enjoyed the high-quality of the band, the good weather, and a chance to chat for the afternoon.
Also bumped into Matt Pollard, the chap who did us proud on Thursday's Question Time - seemed like a great guy, and I'm sure will go far.
Look forward to another opportunity to meet up some time.

hmm... but you don`t know them - "unruly" they have never been, and I guess would be either most amused or greatly offended to be classed as such!! ( I think they were probably both 6 a few years ago though!!)
