One of the few action shots I got, I don’t think she bowled the other one at the same time
New committee members getting settled in!
This is what happens when you run out of chairs
Slight pause in the proceedings
There was always very keen interest in the head
Can you spot the jack?
The pushers did have a mind of their own on the day
And she sang so beautifully, it was a great explaination why men don’t make sandwiches
