Recognise the second guy from the left with the sweatband - James Blakemore - if  that the correct spelling.  We played together in 71/72.

@ Diana

Do you remember the Windhoek Hockey Tour we had such a good time. Do you remember after a night of drinking going up and down the passage turning on and off the ligts to the song of the pick pantha.  Does anyone have any pictures of that tour.

Next to you Pepe is my old mate Ian McLennan and directly behind him is a windblown John Kane. Ian was a plumber and John Kane was a sparky.
