No problem Grant. You're not the only one with that problem. There seems to be a direct correlation between my increasing age, and decreasing reading ability - funny that! John.

Thanks John for correction , I seem to speed read & do not read with ease , a problem I always had

Hi Grant,
Many of us have also fallen in love with 'Edinburgh' (capital of Scotland) over the years, but I think 'Edinborough' is Martin's surname, not location.
By the way, welcome aboard Martin. You'll enjoying browsing The Roaring Session.
Cheers, John

I was pointed at this page after posting some of my late father-in-laws photos from the Pukekohe 30th anniversary event and the Peter Styvesant NZIGP.

Pat Lambert was assistant starter to Laurie Powell for a good many years and has taken many photos.

The photos and 35mm slides have started to decay so I scanned some of the better ones and have put them up on Facebook.

I have started uploading them to this site. I will be continuing to do so as time permits.

I also have some photos and a Kodak photo paper box that is full of black and white negatives, these need to be scanned and uploaded.
