Roy and I were trying to guess the year of this photograph. My first guess, looking at Pete Harding, was around 1970 as he looks to have only recently converted to long trousers. Further consideration, however, would suggest 1995/6. Any other suggestions from those present?
By the way Roy, the 'cool dude' second from left, is non other than Mr John Facey of Meva car park fame.
Mike Rogers looks relaxed but a bit unsteady, Pete Moody looks frustrated to be posing instead of drinking, Alister Barnie looks skinny and very young, Dave Atkinson is on tip-toe to look taller than Alister and I look exactly the same as I do now - complete with fag in left hand! I even wear the same jacket to COGS days - how sad is that!!!
All I need now is for one of the Chambers' to take the piss again.
Further to the comments re the scurrilous goings on in the locker room at okehampton this was brought to my attention and the culprits were fined. I was spared the details re the swarfega (this is an odd choice of material for the purpose in which they were engaged but who am i to comment it has been legal now over 40 years)but now the the reply, from we believe the culprits to try and bring shame on the only proven Viking in the cogs, that part is nothing but pure fiction to mention or allude to me. If indeed there was a deposit in existence at all then that was the appropriate place for said deposit. In conclusion if the culprits are to be belived i think i know the perpetrator as he is very fond of leaving his mark in trap number one on a sunday morning any more scurrilous remarks about the last great Viking will be dealt with by swinging fines yours the Viking
