Really Geoff!!!

Try Nephew... Young James is the son of Anthony Denham Keith's brother who used to.be track curator at DP...

He will do fine as he has a good head on those shoulders...

I think Anthony Denham is Keith's nephew not brother so Keith would be James Great Uncle? :D

How old do ya think Kieth is... you'll be another one off his Christmas card list...

Correction.... and sincere apologies you are right...

Best of it is and don't tell Anthony... I would have took Anthony for the older one of the two FFS... poor old Antony eh... must have had a hard paper round...

Keith and Anthony aren't brothers John, Keith is Anthony's Uncle. Keith must be about 80 now

James probably calls Keith Uncle but he's a Great Uncle.   I know James' granda Raymond very well, from his involvement at our cricket club (Cockermouth), He's a real Salt of the earth character, still as active as ever as Head groundsman at 87 years old!

Those new photos look cracking btw! Reminds me of the view you get down the backstraight at Ashfield, but Northside looks even higher than that. Can see the Swedish influence!

Aye Topaz ya not wrong you could tell that when Steve Lawson came second in that Chariot race wid Charlton Heston in Ben Hur... in fact am sure Steve said that's where he got the idea for the shape of the track from wid those extra wide bends... ;-)

 Beat you to it Marksman and full apology made above... and Keith told me he was only 49... that's what threw me... although he's been saying that for the last 12 years that I know... so yep big slice of humble pie....

But that's Cumbria all owa Marra when ya sister can be ya mother ya auntie and ya cousin all in one and ya grandma is a sheep...

Hope there's a bar as it's a tradition that Team Harrison and Mcgurk have a beer after any meeting there at together.

In a word @Neila yes

But a hope the club aren't relying on you to flush the bar wid profit on the back of your drinking exploits cos av seen you in action and between you an that Barry av spilt more down me tie...

When you's won the money draw down at Rye House you's didnt even splash the cash... not one pint was offered... and I pulled your ticket out of the bag...
