Spot the Friends from 1991
As mentioned in the November 1997 issue of Between Friends, this photograph
was displayed at the AGM on 6th December 1997 and as many names as possible were put
to the faces by those present. The photograph was taken by Graham Parkes on the
2-3 March working bee weekend and unfortunately some of the faces are hidden
in the shadows, so we will probably never know who they are. If you do happen to
recognise someone who has a question mark against them then please let me know.
