Hi All, May I express my extreme thanks and appreciation for the number of goodwill wishes, when I was a wee bit under the weather. I warms my heart to think that everyone clubs together in support of another Denbury Boy. Special thanks go to Phil Kirk, for paying me a visit, and, nearly getting us both chucked out of hospital with his bottle of whisky Xmas present for me. Also to George McIntosh, who resolutely texted me at 0630hrs to ask how I was. Many thanks lads.Once again, you will not be forgotten Denbury Boys. Cheers. Jock.

Chalky & All, I think the idea of a park bench in Bob's memory would be a fitting tribute. It could be suitably engraved with a brass plate giving his name and JLR/Ten Tors significance and sited in NA or in a Dartmoor park area perhaps. HMP Channings Wood manufacture this type of furniture. I am happy to make a donation and will contact Chalky privately. I wont be going to the Barnsleyfest as I'll be in S.Ireland. Apols if this comes up twice but my first attempt didn't seem to send properly.

Jim Brown, thank you so much for your message, yes we lived in Princetown and although I was too young to remember I'm sure my mum would have made you and your mates a drink if you were passing, that made me smile that he would just "happen" to be passing our house.
His middle name was Frederick, so I would love to find out if he chose the name Fred or was just given it by his mates.
My brother has quite a few photos that he is sending me and I am hoping to be able to post them on here if I can in the future.

Why do Aussies keep calling us Brits pohms. Surely they are POHMs Prisoners Of His/Her Majesty. (Not sure who reigned then). Ha Ha

1.While in Oz I visited Fremantle Prison where the guide told us that the first prisoners, first of all had to build their own accommodation and to identify who was who they wore blue overalls with the word POME across the back. This
identified them as Prisoners of Mother England........
2. Great to hear the Jock Kelly is home and going in the right direction........

Barnsley Reunion Menu Choices - Update
Now have the meal choices for those listed in the previous message. However, not sure if Mick Lumgair is attending.
Sorry for all the inconvenience caused. It was due to a 'coding' error which has now been fixed.

Would like to remind those attending, if possible, could they bring 'Raffle Prizes' for the Saturday night 'do'. Anything will do. It goes towards the cost of organising the reunion (disco etc)

Thanks Sieggie for the correct meaning of POME.

Jock Kelly glad you have come through all your problems and are free from your hospital bed
