And a jolly fine meeting it was! More quality than quantity, both with a capital "K", but Four Track, Now!, bobm, red squirrel and, of course, bignosmac, put the world to rights over a couple of sherbets or six.

Or of course "nightmare"!

I am the one with the glasses in the first picture. bobm is the other one with glasses. In the second picture, bignosemac is obvious, and red squirrel was on his FGW▸ (First Great Western) Coffee Shop first outing from the drey but was very welcome.

In due course, with trains /and or buses to catch, we dispersed. Next time?

... and I can only apologise, slightly belatedly, for my inability to join you - due to my shifts being re-arranged for me at the last moment.  Roll Eyes Shocked

I'm glad you all had the opportunity to have a beer over a chat or two, though.  I'll make even more strenuous efforts to attend the next get-together!  Wink

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
