Guest marion Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Remember this weekender very well, have dodgy photos to prove it. I was there with my very good friend Anne (from Newmarket) and the rest of the St Neots Spice Boys. Many regulars form The Black Horse in Leighton Buzzard also attended. A great weekend had by all.

Barry Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I spent a good deal of time with Sam when he was over for these varying events, a lovely man and some of the tales he span from bitd were an eye opener.

Dave Thorley Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) Remind me was that the one that Ian Clark and a few others had Dave Thorley looky Liky wigs on. Yes I was there Edited October 18, 2007 by Dave Thorley Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Remind me was that the one that Ian Clark and a few others had Dave Thorley looky Liky wigs on. Yes I was there My DTLLW was set off very nicely by a hideous yellow dress shirt (with ruffles) and a bolero jacket that was at least a size and a half too small (and I wasn't anywhere near, then, the size that I am now, so its previous owner must have been as emaciated as Amy Winehouse). It was a great weekender, apart from the fact that we had our chalet door kicked in by, I've always suspected, the people in the opposite chalet, presumably for playing 1940s hillbilly records - very loudly - while we were getting ready to go out. Big Jim Dunn - top man, by the way. We shared many a trip to the bagel shop post-"Norfolk Village", back in the day. If you're out there, Jim - I will tell you this, boy, I'm just off to the Henley Regatta... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
