“New” kid on the block!

Good photos Gazzer, BUT i,m dreading the inevitable… :blush: :blush:

All in good time Tony “Slimfast” Mapson!

Just in case anyone was wondering…Charlie Jeggo didn’t have a driver for the Bash as Terry Sparrow is unwell. I’m unsure how unwell but not too good. It’s a shame we didn’t know this because we could have collected Charlie and brought him along.
My best wishes to Terry for a speedy recovery, should someone be able to pass them on.

Hi Gazzer.I have told Charlie about your very kind posting. I was going to say that he was touched but you already know that! Many thanks for that. Have tried phoning Terry but no answer. Charlie will try again tomorrow.Best wishes to all who reads this post. Charlie says hello to all. Regards Rose :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Just to wish you a"Bonne Route" when you go to see Dave & Liz on Thursday,don’t forget to drive on the right !!

I second what Gazzer said about Terry… Let’s hope a recovery
Is possible…I spoke to Charlie after the bash, and told him I would
have gladly given him a lift had I known…Never mind, there,s always next year…

Richard…thanks mate, shame you couldn’t make it as well…

First time abroad as an Owner Driver Tone , Safe Trip Tony !! All the Best to Dave and Liz :sunglasses:

Needs a wide load board and an orange flashing light ! I know cos I used to be like that JD.

Hi all.
Just back from the UK . Sorry Tone, didn’t call , as you were away. Next time mate!

I was talking about the old days with a mate and it got round to Matsolex. Neither of us could remember the players in that outfit??
Also have a couple of pics that my Daughter had found in a drawer… Will post them up later.

Cheers . Balders .

Hi Stuart. Bob Payne springs to mind. Also if my feeble old mind recalls. Steve Matthews did traction for them as well. Regards Charlie :laughing: :laughing:

We think the photos of Steve Matthews DAF were of him when he was at MATSOLEX.

Tony and Dave

Ah yes… I’m pretty sure it was Bob, but wasn’t there another Director ?
And in the pic you posted Gazzer I recognise Dave and Tony, but brain cells won’t kick in with surnames and places worked??

Tony Brady (Twyford Transport, BFC amongst others) and Dave Bocock (Better Keep Going etc).
