Nearly a month after the event, I have at last managed to get the photos I took at this excellent day sorted out and uploaded to my site at: http://micksrovingreporter.blogspot.com/ . Photos of not only Jane's flapjack but also of Jane; and of Bob Ayer's cheery cake as well. There's also some other boring snaps of some trainsets that people brought along to interrupt the cake-eating.

Sorry for the delay, I can now start to tackle the mountain of snaps taken at Expong!

This notice also posted on ngrm-online

Thanks for those Mick - and good to know that Dad's Guiness book went to a good home!

It certainly did! Only issue is that I can't personally stand Guiness, being much more partial to a pint of Smithwicks when across the water! Doesn't affect the interesst of the brewery railway however.
