Dan with Ruth Holt in the Red Lion that evening. Note the England sticker... Tim & Ellie came straight to the

A few of the girls! From left to right: Jo Groombridge, Brenda McClusky, Kirsty Revell, Jayne Garrigan, Vanessa

Vanessa and Ruth Holt were dancing quite happily until some drunken idiot came up and leered from behind! I think
this was shortly after Ben & Nick gave Dan his ceremonial ginning! |
