I never met you Tony... in either life! Welcome to the forum and the madness that is contagious
A lot of ex bandies have gone to the Dark side and stood on corners with speed guns (guess who got one pointed at him today

good job a bike doesn't have a plate on the front

)
I wonder if there are enough to form a massed band of the Police (ex RM). DON'T say you still play, numbers are low for Horse Guards next year

and Andy Wymer can stop smiling, excused marching chits only last 2 years

Hi Tony
I sure do remember you. We met at the 100th reunion in Nelson not too long ago and talked football refereeing etc etc and golf. I havent been to a reunion since then but it is my intention to go next year all being well. It would be nice to see you there again.
All the best for now
