I think we're spread between different threads & the old grapevine is dormant in Winter  ;D

We had a couple a few years back with about 20 people,  :)

By the way, if you see an old pale blue FC panel van in Newcastle it used to be ours,  :D

Here folks - just in case you wish to download this for use.  You may need to download it twice so Teddy can have a label too!     ::) ::) :-\   You can make it as big or small as you like!


We are a quiet and refined lot here in Melbourne Neil!!    :P :P    When we aren't being noisy and unrefined that it!    ;D ;D ::)    Also Melbourne is too blooming big!  so it is a long way to travel for some people!   

OK, no more excuses!
