Thomas - NO!! But I can just imagine young Chris striking a simialar pose if he didn't want his Dad to take the picture.   AND I don't think any of the others are you!!  .. are they?

I like the guy with the long hair and sandals ... who remembers the TV series 'The Young Ones'?  (Sorry - probably a UK joke  ;))

This is harder than identifying an unknown plant!  (And there is the possibility of offending several friends at the same time :-*)

I'm gonna revise a couple of guesses.  Firstly, if the tongue out chap is not Thomas (he is still my first choice) could he be Joakim?  The cowboy  - not an SRGC President surely ... but which one?

No-one has offered a name for the smiley lad sitting at his desk ... he's the right age for Tony Darby but surely such a bright lad could not morph into El Gringo?

Maggi - how many of us are in twice?   My long haired Young One bears a resemblance to Fred C as seen on the Dunblane thread.

And now I really must have better things to do :) :) :)

Tony I used to be polite and would not in such an age pull my tonge out. Now I could do that :) Tonge by seems to be 40 or so now rather than 35 judging by cloths. Baies are all sweet and then they grow up to be......
Even sweeter :) I almost got in trouble there.
I need to have a better look to see if I can identy the girl. We have so few here!?? Most garden forum have the oposite ratio.

Could the girl above the baby be Hannelotte? Age and hair colour seems to match.
Could The long haird one from "the young ones" be John Forrest and his "Longer hair bigger plants" post a hint? Or even a confession?

All I will say is that some of you have got some of the identities correct and others are wrong.
It is not easy to sort out the cowboys from the presidents and as for Neil from the young ones sneaking in.
Keep the pictures and the ID's coming and we will reveal all in the New Year.

I think the latest schoolboy from 1961 is El Gringo, fits the age and also the face might be the same.
I can not focus on more than one pic at the time sorry.

Joakim, I think you are not far off getting the identity of Neil geographically but I reckon he is a little further East. ???
