The Radio Caroline Southampton Supporters Group held their Meeting in the Netley Victoria Club in Netley last wednesday and I'd been invited along.

What normally happens is there are talks from any of the DJ's which are there and any of the Ross Revenge workers who keep the ship in good condition, however, because so many turned up at this months Meeting the round of talks was abandoned and it just became one huge mingle.

There was mild amusement when people foujnd out that I work for the MCA, so I had to go onto the mike and explain that, yes, technically, I do, sort of, work for the MCA, but I and the rest of my Colleagues work for H.M. Coastguard. We save lives for a living whereas the MCA...........................................well, I'd better not go into that on here!!

Anyway, I actually managed to meet Clive Garrard and Barry who do the 60's & 70's request programme on a Tuesday night along with their sponsor as well as a load of other Caroline DJ's and listeners whose names were familiar. Nice to be able to put faces to names.

Clive Garrard in the bar!



Not a particulary good piccy of Barry James during a presentation to Peter Smith (It was crowded in the room and the person in front of me kept moving).:

Same here with Clive also doing a speech during the presentation:

You forgot the "Y" with MCA and because I'm nosey----"Y" were you in Southampton [Did your shepherd leave the gate open again?]another question--did you like civilization?
Baa for now.
Col.

Don't encourage him---he's met his heroes and now we shall be regalled by his stories of the high seas, pirates and drunken sailors. Yo ho ho, those were the days. Anyone want a lifejacket?

I've also been invited down to join the working group aboard the Ross. One day I will go, especially as I have now met most of them already.

I DIDN'T hand them out, I just dropped some in strategic places!

I did wonder about the lovely graphics on the wrap sheet around my Chish and Fips.

Hey! NO advertising is BAD advertising!!

They're not as good as I'd hoped, but, yes I did have a great time, thank you.

The first one of Clive at the bar was taken on my phone, the others were taken with my Kodak Easyshare.
