Pics to follow tomorrow boys!
Great stories. Had some awesome commentary from Bob on some special footage from the old days...

Even after a 10 day Maldives trip packed full of stories, there was still heaps of new stuff tonight.

A really great night, free beer and nibbles.

I captured some spoken word recordings too.

The pics didn't turn out very well...



This is a photo of a photo, and I never expected this to turn out well... But here is Bob on a big one at Bells... Mid 60's.

Easily triple overhead...

Ha! Classic!
About 35 people were there on the night.

Bob told stories about the early days, visiting Torquay, and shaping in Torquay...
1 beer per board, for the evening shaping session!

Was always impressed with the 24hr board story from Bob until Don Burford went one better and in his story he also blew the blank.
