Informal view of congress -

Harry Worth, eat your heart out! - Look, no mirrors! Saturday evening's entertainment at the pub
Collecting Jim, Saturday morning - is that all you are taking with you? Bob is looking amazed - but he is not the subject of the photo, is he, Jim?
Three wise monkeys? Speaking at congress makes you thirsty -
The Branch delegates provided support from the balcony If you don't hurry up with that food, Bob, I'm drinking your beer!
I think they like each other! Bob shows he is supple enough to get his foot on the window sill
Jim and Ian share a joke Relaxing in our hotel room
It's either going to be "Pretty Woman" or "Oh Carol" Swap you a tomato for a sausage?
Carol is telling Jerry that Chris is going to sing in the karoake Breakfast in the hotel - before the coach tour arrived
Is that a tower growing out of your head, Shaun? Lovely bit of tomato sauce
Out on the town! Fish and chips at Harry Ramsden's
Nice to see officers so relaxed! All paying attention - Jerry must be speaking!
I think it must be your round, John? Eyes down for a full house -
What's Shaun bought me for my birthday, then? Proud of my Gascoigne Wood tag, worn around my neck
Amanda and Ian Smog's eye view of two Yorkshire delegates
A new Olympic sport? Our members at Kellingley will be delighted that the GMB is sponsoring Cas!
Synchronised plate laying - we were very impressed! Possibly an honorary Yorkshireman?
Amanda and Shaun Jim's delighted to dance with Maria
It's very tiring, attending Congress! One for Jim - a dance with Maria!
Bob in front of Ye Olde Fighting Cocks Tide slowly going out as we eat our lunch
Oh, where are we now?  Ah yes, Arnside! View of the Bay from the Promenade
Ah! Lunch - yummy - especially the curly chips - Bob admires the bedding

Carboniferous Limestone Series
Food was delicious everywhere we went - and this is why I came - for the geology
Five minutes longer in the shop, we would have missed this Not Blackpool and not even Arnside - up in the hills beyond
Here comes the Bore - watch those seagulls shift in a minute! Visiting the limestone pavements - not the only visitors, by the look of things!
