Class of '75

Had an email from Roger Kennedy of 'Miss Nova Arts' fame yesterday, saying he'd just discovered the website and couldn't believe there was so much media and general interest from/about way back when. Apparently he was directed toward the site by Mr Stapely junior (Jon?).

Had a long telephone convo with him this morning, he seems on good form and I hope will join the forum when he gets his head round it. He has a thousand tales to tell it would seem.

I think the time is nearing when an organised evening /pub meet or similar, for some of these stalwarts to meet back up might be appropriate.

Couldnt agree more, I think its always a decent evening out.

Plus, I need some kind of forum with which to air my newly completed rRacing background, so we can chat about the good old days in 75' when I was a world beater, test pilot and general boating "guru"

Maybe.

Other than Lozza Bellamy, the turnout was rather poor & dissapointing last time though.
