@BermondseyBill
it was indeed a great and informative ride this morning, thank you for leading this year. Lovely to see @spudger @DoubtfulAce @Ndeipi and others. Also a wonderful surprise to see @cliveo and his daughter out riding around Soho to take in the festive lights.with regard to House of St Barnabas, a private members club with a difference.

I do enjoy being part of this , many great events and memories here. -
With reference to the Gielgud (formerly known as the Hicks, then the Globe) and the newly named Sondheim (formerly known as the Queens) Theatres.
Like other pairs theatres built in London eg. the Novello (formerly known as the Strand and the Aldwych theatres were designed by prominent theatre architect W.G.R. Sprague in the late Victorian and early Edwardian era.
Our theatre district remains world class and I have had many great experiences restoring a few of them in the noughties..

I might have popped down with a kid on a tandem but my ankle is fractured and waiting for a date for surgery. I'm doing sweet FA for at least the next 6 weeks.
Merry Christmas Waifs&Strays
