HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED – THE ACG 55th CELEBRATION DINNER

Alan Gray 

On Saturday, 26th February 2005 the ACG had its 55th birthday celebration dinner at the Miners Arms in Shipham. This was attended by Elaine, Hugh, Keith, Jo, Matt, Mark, Duncan, Alan, Paul, Janna and Richard and a good time was had by all.

Thanks to Elaine, Hugh, Keith and Jo for organising.

While browsing through the ACG photo archives I came across some photographs and a menu of earlier times –
