    As I said above, Sunday was travel day and what a day it was too. Yet again, another very impressive gala put on by the guys at Swanage. Thank you to all the organisers. Looking forward to the 2018 gala already.

    The selection of the rest of the photos taken on the Sunday. 13.jpg 14.jpg 15.jpg 17.jpg 18.jpg 19.jpg 20.jpg 21.jpg 22.jpg 25.jpg
