york races
Published: Sunday, October 8th 2006
Despite being very busy at the moment I had Saturday off to go to the races with friends at York.
One of my friends is in the Army the Coldstream Guards, and the Guards Regiment have the last race of the day, The Coldstream Cup.
This Race is a very good day out and to top it off the Guards Regiment has a private function room for serving and former serving soldiers who meet up to see old friends and have a drink, or in our case, attend as guests of David.
The picture below is me with some of my friends who are a mixed bunch of character's to say the least, David I have known since I was 9 and Richard nearly as long.
We are all also members of one of the most exclusive clubs in the world, Goole Mountaineering Club!!!.
The first picture shows, 'milkey', Elton, 'dobby', David, Richard ( in a suit I made him ) and finally me.
The second picture shows Richard with some of the Coldstream Guards soldiers.
David is the Company Sergeant Major and Tom on the far right is a Physical Training Instructor ( PTI ) for the Guards.
The third picture above, is Guardsman Fulton in his Tunic and Bearskin watching the door to the function room.
'milkey', Tom and David deep in serious conversation!. 'Milkey' had better not be drinking my beer he's holding.
David as always is dressed for the occasion with bulled shoes but you must try harder CSM!
And finally the smartest young man in Goole, Richards son Zak and our driver to and from ( for some! ) York.
