Now Frank Sinatra or Bing Crosby, good alpine growers both.

You would have a job to see those two live, Shelagh!!

Richard Hawley, Ray LaMontagne,  Brian says they must be two of the newer fellows.

 Yup, born 1967 and 1973....... :-X



If anyone ( possibly Rodger W  ;) ) tries to sell you tickets for a Miff Mole concert..... then you are  in trouble..... did the man  not die in around 1961?
Yes, but his 'Dark Town Strutter's Ball' is legendary.  8)

The event is a sell-out, Ladies and Gentlemen..... though I believe that Liz is holding a waitlist  :-X

 See you there!

Wish I could have joined you all - it was my intention, but didn't work out...never mind I look forward to hearing all the animated discussion from everyone and the cherry on the cake is that I'll be in Bristol with Tony to promote Valais, Switzerland, where I hope to see some new Alpine enthusiasts next year  ;D

I have been thinking of changing my Fuji finepix camera and I was wondering if anyone going to the Discussion weekend had a Canon Powershot SX10is that they would let me experiment with for the duration of the weekend?  I find the 2 minutes you are allowed to fiddle with a camera in a shop just not enough to find out its pros and cons. I will ofcourse provide my own card.

Far be it from me to incite naughtiness of any kind, Darren, but I merely remind you of the old traditions of cross border smuggling........... ::) ;D

See you tomorrow, travel safely, Friend!

I hope you've oiled your elbow properly Cliff? It will take some serious abuse. ;D
