Thanks Bill and jimbews for those links - we've collected some old photos of GKR which will also be on display tomorrow night at the Heritage Centre.

Just a reminder that the evening starts at 7.30pm and tea/coffee will also be served.

I'm sorry to have missed this, I was working late tonight. Hope all went well.
