As you know, I met up and had lunch with my old mate Richard Searle in Salisbury the other Saturday and he asked me to pass on his Best Wishes to all his old friends in the Group and this I am happy to do.
Finally a sad tale from Vivienne who went to a good Jazz Weekend in Torquay recently Apparently they are not holding it next year because the haven,t got enough Bookings for next year, so they are having a Rock and Roll weekend instead. !!! I think that is history repeating itself, -that's what happened in the 50s. !!!
