Apologies for the delay in producing this, but I have been very busy. Once again a great day had by all, although I only arrived in the afternoon. This is all rather hurriedly put together and I am afraid I don't have time to do a proper job. If I left it any longer it would not be very topical. My plan for a animated gif terrier race will have to wait!
Below are a random set of photos of people I spotted (click on the thumbnails). Apologies also for to those whose names I don't know. Email me and I will include them. (More Pictures here)

drawings she did of the Black Horse
