TX09 (Transmission Reunion 2009)

Page last updated 30 October 2009

Following the reunion held on 31st October 2007, organized by David Sandbrook and Alan Rees, in an unguarded moment Peter Condron and Sue Davies 'volunteered' to organize a return match. This fixture on 22 October 2009 was the result.

Sue surprised us all by arranging for the famous harpist David Watkins to give a 50 minute recital at TX09.  After the event David said that he thoroughly enjoyed the day with us all and wished to be remembered to everyone.  He sent his very best wishes and many thanks for making him so welcome.
