So this is from the Twyford Times, same photographer, but more pics. It was so large that I have done it as two pics, fingers crossed that it will be readable.
In the bottom pic Gary is signing for children's author Anna Dale!
It will probably need a bit of Ming Magic (that sounds good!) to be readable.

Sorry it has taken me so long to add my thoughts. I have been in Scotland for a while, checking out universities.
I had a wonderful time at the Day. It was great to meet so many forum members, and to see Tony again after so long. I particularly enjoyed seeing Barbara Stoney again, who was just as lovely as ever. I am just sorry I turned up late and had to shoot off straight afterwards. I hope you all enjoyed your picnic.
Great, too, to meet Marcus and Gary. I was flattered that Gary knew who I was. (And thank you for signing an autograph for my friend, "The Kebab", by the way, Gary. She loved it!)

Checking out universities, Matt? Surely you mean single malts! There are also some good beers to find, north of the border. Deuchar's IPA is a real favourite of mine.Matthew Roberts wrote:Sorry it has taken me so long to add my thoughts. I have been in Scotland for a while, checking out universities.
You really should get a note before going away. You missed all the Spamming that we were suffering, where were you? AWOL!

I am so ashamed! Not around when I was needed here! I should have left a note, you're right, but I didn't think you lot would be interested in my travel plans.
I didn't drink much whisky or beer (not a fan of either, I'm afraid, Nige), but I did consume quite a lot of wine, cider and various liqueurs!
I also went to see Travis in concert at the Barrowlands in Glasgow. Such a thrill. Fran, the lead singer, spoke to ME from the stage (out of 2,000 people) and dedicated "Why Does It Always Rain On Me?" to me. I have been on cloud nine ever since.

Hmm - from Cornwall to St. Andrew's, perhaps? You're not a fan of Malory Towers are you by any chance, Matt?[Matt:] I have been in Scotland for a while, checking out universities.
Yes - or at least that's my hair![Jools:] Is that Anita between the two women talking to Gary and Marcus?
Thanks for posting the articles, Tony!

I had no idea Anna Dale was a member of the society. Has anyone read her debut novel, 'Whispering to Witches'? I enjoyed it very much...yes, now I come to think of it, it DID have quite a 'Blytonian' feel to it!
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'
