HMS Manchester Association
The Buzz - (Part 5) continued....
Sadly, we were robbed of the good company of Dave Cozens who selflessly withdrew as his daughter had tested positive for Covid. Alan Ivison had hayfever, Larry Motton - his company gave him a pierhead jump, the Don (Hiller) struggling with a neck injury whilst Lenny Bilton - maintenance issue with the posh yacht he is carrying out an AMP on….but the bonus is so good he'll be buying everyone a beer at the next re-union!!! - Cheers Shipmate. As for Mark Winch - we don't know!
Soon it was time for Big Eats, and the Holiday Inn did not disappoint. The spread was exceptional - as was breakfast the following morning for those victualed in. Wisely we had already cancelled our normal Sunday lunch.
And suitably fed and refreshed we proceeded with our plans to make presentations to our two betrothed couples, prior to running the raffle, the results of which are below.
