Colin you devil
Out and about in the rain - at least it was warm in the cab[^]

We've seen Colin Hart in action now here are The Booths as The Professionals.

Evnin' all We got back around quarter to six and the first thing we did was to crank up the heating:I I've never been as cold as I was on Friday night - ever, but frostbite aside we had a brilliant time[8D] Unfortunately the pictures don't show anyone's Halloween outfits, Bernie and Heidi as Frankenstein and wife, Baz in his Ebay 'Scream' rig out, Colin as a little red devil Barb all decked out as a Witch and me as Baz's better looking brother - yep we had the same idea but I wore my actual dressing gown:I
Heidi had the brilliant idea of frightening the locals so we went prowling for victims, first was a couple sat huddled outside their tent who accepted the lollipop treats we had with great humour. Second on the list where a couple of young guys in the 'Glamping' tent who were obviously terrified but did their best to maintain a cool and calm demeanour as they peared from behind the tent flap. We spotted a car coming up the drive and confronted the occupants with our terrifying presence, unfortunately there were a couple of young kids in the back seats who appeared a little anxious so I took my mask off to show then that it wasn't really a horrible monster - that's when the screaming really began:I We walked slowly along a short row of holiday cottages but the word was out, curtains closed and doors locked as we approached - and when we headed back to the camping field I saw a bunch of kids being hastily rounded up and bundled back into their caravan as we emerged from the gloom. Oh well I guess we did a pretty good job of scaring the peasants[}]
Fantastic weekend with some very interesting and enjoyable excursions - Bletchly Park in particular is a fascinating place, so interesting in fact that Mike (Hazels Dad) had to be escorted of the premises at closing time
Thanks for organising it Andy you did a grand job, and my own special thanks to Colin who topped my up with Drambuie throughout the evening, I think that was the difference in me freezing to death rather than just becoming hypothermic. Erm - sorry again about the gloves Colin[8)]
How refreshing
Don't worry about the gloves John, I'm just pleased the Drambuie warmed the rest of you up! Great weekend though[}]

Great weekend - Thanks for the organisation and the company. Enjoyed the Commervoys and the visit to the museum -Highlight for me had to be the visit to Bletchley Park- had wanted to visit for some time and it was a real treat to look round and a privilege to actually meet someone who worked there- They did actually have to throw me out! Good memories of meeting friends old and new round the washing drum. Look forward to the next meet-see some of you at the NEC. Mike (Hazels Dad)

Another coincidence from the NEC! I had just picked up my 1970's Dunstable map (which shows the factory site) from the glove box when a visitor stopped me and said he had just seen Clarabel in his local paper! Last weeks Dunstable Gazette has a photograph and an article about the Commervoy and the visit to the factory site - Mike (Rupert) should be able to post a link to this?- as it's available on line and was viewed on his tablet. Anyway- a good result as we are now on record as having taken the trouble to make the pilgrimage! Mike- Clarabel and Co

I hear he is a handsome and noble chap
I sent what is basically written in the article a few days after the event and heard nothing more.....
Shame I didn't get a copy of the paper. Never mind.
