PSNC Officers Reunion 2009
2009 Reunion

at the Packet Steamer, Netherton, Liverpool
Page updated Monday 13th June 2009.
If there are any errors or omissions please accept my apologies and let me know what they are
We were privileged to welcome Richard Robinson who sings under the name of Richard Ridley. To listen to some of his songs click on this link to YouTube:

If you click on the lyrics tab you will see the story behind the song at the bottom of the page with references to the old PSNC days. He has more "jollier" songs which he has not yet recorded.
My sincere thanks also go to Wendy Jenkins and "Scotty" Carlisle. Wendy toiled and struggled to get her laptop to communicate with Scotty's projector and was ultimately successful allowing us to have a photo presentation from days gone bye!!
Unfortunately, we did not realise that we had a problem with our camera until we got home and found they were not up to the usual standard. I do not think anyone else had taken photos in the Packet Steamer.
