PICTURE Can you spot who decided to try and take a nap on a bench? Far be it for me to expose the culprit, he seems to be doing that himself, I have ex-cluded the face to protect this indi-viduals identity. I forgot I had this shot, I found It on my phone only the other week, I didn’t take the shot myself it was blue toothed over to me in the pub, Thanks Mrs Clarke

I may be too late with this one, John asked club members at the last AGM to keep their eyes open for a new club tractor. I spotted this one whilst at Puxton Park, my daughter Lucy tried it out and I believe it would have been ideal for the job, it is only slightly smaller than the old one and is in considerably better condition. Apparently being made of wood eliminated it from the short list! Fussy gits.

GALLERY

Another Photo I found on my phone

just the other day, Apparently Mr Alex Benny is trying to claim that

the big dent in the side of his car was not of his doing!

Steve had very kindly purchased a new door through his contacts and I’m sure

given the time that has now passed the door has been replaced and re sprayed,

no one would be any the wiser.Without this shot……….

Happy to help.
