I was just thinking that im sure Mick would have been only too happy to think that i will buy you all a drink on Sunday
Now im sorry to say i cant make it in person as we are still in the middle of harvest so i will entrust the £3.19s 6d to Mr Burton whom im sure will distribute this amount fairly
Have a good day all and say a liquid farewell to dear old Mick

I’ll be happy to say a liquid farewell to Mick. However could Gary be
trusted with that amount of cash? Sorry you can’t make it Ian. However
see you at the funeral. Regards Charlie

Bonjour Andy how did your French beans turn out ? got three fifty foot rows half and half French & runners and so far have just past the 3 cwt mark most of which I have sold for £1 a pound so not a bad year and still picking, Buzzer.
Salut Buzzer, been a good year for french beans this year just started to pick our second double row ( only 6metres long) . You can’t give them away here everybody’s got them, they even put them in kilner jars for the winter. Have a good bash. Andy
August bash at the Wheat Sheaf pub of old comrades of the road, we lose some every year but a good old catch up and some miles done in the pub garden, Buzzer.
It was great to see everyone today, a great turnout lovely weather good company hope to see you all again next year !!
Regards Jimski
Great to be part of the August Bash again. Thanks to all of you for making it worthwhile.
We raffled a litre of Soberano donated by me and a bottle of Vecchia Romagna (Ettichetta nera) donated by Tim for the Great OrmonInd Street Childrens Hospital and the RNLI. In total we raised £110, divided between the two causes. The Vecchia was won by Paul Nichols and the Soberano by Buzzer who promptly put it back up for auction. Compo was the winning bidder.
Thank you for your generosity.
Hasta el anyo que viene
I was privileged to be at the bash yesterday.So many old
workmates and friends from years ago. All looking well and
sprightly. The photo of me doesn’t do me justice. It makes me
look a bit chunky and elderly. Now take Gerbil for example. He
still looks 35. Thank you Buzzer for the drink. Sorry I couldn’t
find you when it was my round. Next time eh?
Thanks to everyone again for making the day special. Also really
Pleased to see Jim and Maureen. Been too long Jim!
Regards Charlie

Charlie don’t think you got away with it saying you could not find me to buy me a drink, I could not stay till 10pm as I had to shut up me chickens about 8.30 & I am not long after that climbing the wooden hill. As you say it is nice to do a few miles with your old comrades especially as the sun shone on us all afternoon. Just a warning I have dibbed you in to the Arlesford allotment group and they will be paying a lot more attention to there funds from now on so be careful mate & don’t get caught out, Buzzer.
Thanks for a lovely afternoon in very good company. Thanks Tim.
Went to Mick Hellawells funeral today. The church was packed. Standing room only
at the back. The Irish Rover. was played at the beginning.Took me back to the bashes
when Mick, Pat Duffy rip and myself would roar out the song. Bloody moving.

Just joined this forum and have some pictures that might be of interest.
These are from mine and my dads days at UBM Winchester, the launch of the Transcon at Bar end Winchester and a few pictures of his wreckers and some local jobs we did.
I have got some later ones from the 80s and 90s when I was a fitter and drove for other recovery companies.
