Thanks for posting the photos guys. I am really pig sick that I could not be there with you all. Might I suggest for the benefit of those who were not there or for those with poor memories, that you add the names of the people on each photo? Would that be helpful? Best regards from Hanoi, Stuart

It was good to learn that the reunion at Cottingham on 24/25 Oct was a great success. I also like the idea of another reunion in 2010, and the practice sessions to make sure that the slow drinkers are brought up to speed. As someone who only occasionally imbibes of the alcoholic stuff, I have some questions:

When and where are the practice sessions? Have we got a calendar of events fixed? Do we need to obtain 48 hour passes prior to attending? Are practice sessions solely group activities or can we have additional practice on an individual basis (or is that considered to be cheating/gaining undue advantage)?

I liked particularly the room 6 photo - it was a pity that Grotty, Dave Whiting and I could not attend the reunion. For those who care, (does anyone care?) my current photo (taken last Saturday - 24th - as the reunion was starting) is attached (A Clue:- I am the taller of the two, and wearing my "six nations" tee shirt). (Pete Claydon may notice the total absence of any hirsute appendages)

By the way, I cannot see Keith Parkin's email address in the circulation list:- [e-mail] Keith, don't you have hirsute appendages too? Are they infectious/contagious

Has anyone got any news on Dave Whiting's recovery? Dave, maybe either you or Sue could give us all an update. Thinking of you

Best regards from Hanoi
