The Harvester

Loughborough 30th January 2005

After last years successful Sunday lunch we subjected our families to another occasion when they could learn at what point our early lives took a turn for the worst. Blame the bad crowd we fell in with!

There were 28 past members, friends, families, bodyguards and erstwhile assassins gathered to cause the staff the maximum disruption.

Carl and Jack agreed that despite the hifi quality of interactive MP3 CD digital gameboy ROM phones . . .

When Dave Scrivens took out his pocket battleship digital camera and bunker-buster ...

Jackie had to reassure John Muschialli that daughter Lynne would not be late for school tomorrow.

It was especially good to see Jackie's two eldest daughters again. Those girls must have spent their childhood dodging the oilstains left by a never ending procession of club members heading for Derek's workshop in the back garden at Mountsorrel.

There may be other photos to add soon.
