Date - 12th July 1997
Theme -
"Quadrophenia double bill"
This film and the real life Mod events in Brighton set the theme. The invites set certain pubbers in
the famous film poster as Sting, Toyah etc.
Highlights
A lower turnout than usual but an all round nice day
out.
There were lost girlfriends, a moustache nutter, some hotel nudity and
then a bonus visit to the catfish club.
The Pictures
Hopefully to come later...
