The Great Internet Get-together 1999 - from Andy Greener - Andy's web pages are no longer available, but I found this on archive.org. Some pix are missing, including all those on the Stafford Boat Club page, and some pix on the skittles page. Don't miss the skittles page - on "People" page, follow the "no further" link just under the heading.
