The heatwave finally gave us an excuse to get everyone outside rather than hiding in the workshop, and the Shed turned out in force for a group photo against the old stone frontage — bunting up, banner flying, and not a cloud in sight.

Back row, left to right: Clive Correa, Derek Pyner, John Duffy, Bob Emblin, Lorenz Howitz, Bob (Jim) Johnson, Peter Howard, Neil O’Brien.

Front row, left to right: Bob Miles, Malcolm Flack-Crane, Alan Hawkins, Bryan Simpson, Bob Sharpe, Denis Watterson, Stuart Gregory.

Fifteen members, one scorching afternoon, and a reminder of why the Shed is as much about the company as the sawdust.
