At the Manchester thing the Friday night was like a meeting and get to know each other ...Back slapping and hugs all round (including me ingognito) obvious enjoyment of meeting old friends. Some really good singing and lots of drinking.(Freddericks did the biz). Saturday was a slow start but new friends kept turning up and it was a stunning finish.........Ooops...now you know I was there.....Oh my Oh my......I met so many lovely people and now I have to disappear. Iarf .....(the Pheonix).
