Thank
you to Danny Dean, who sent in these photos of the Doward
Park Campsite at Great Doward. Danny said that eight inches
of snow fell on the Doward last week due to the altitude.

Zebras
at the Rowing Club
|
|
Most people who read Wyenot News regularly have probably
guessed that I, along with a large regular following like
going to the Zebras' gigs, so I will not go into too much
detail here. The band performed well at the Rowing Club
on Friday evening, despite Paul having had no voice all
week due to a lurgy which has been doing the rounds in Ross.
He made a recovery at the last minute and the evening went
ahead as planned. All who made it through the fog enjoyed
the evening.
The
Zebras are playing at the Nag's Head in Cinderford this
coming Saturday and at the Prince of Wales the following
week - on Saturday, 3rd March.

A
Rogues' Gallery
|
|
Friends,
Glynis and Jerry have a 'Rogues gallery' on their wall at
home but some of the rogues were missing, so after the Rowing
Club Ball was over on Saturday evening I was asked to do
a quick photoshoot with this in mind. (I did take a proper
one of Ali and Paul as well but thought I would show the
bunny ears here.) I think Jerry took the photo of Tina and
I but I had been drinking and cannot remember for certain
who actually took the camera. I just remember how I was
shocked by the brightness of the flash, not having been
on the receiving end of it very often.
That's
Paul in trouble!

Weather Station Readings
|
|
Ross-on-Wye Weather Station is located by the tennis courts
and bowling green at 'Crossfields' and is one of the important
stations around the country which regularly sends data to
the Meteorological Office. This is why Ross-on-Wye is sometimes
mentioned on the BBC weather reports. It is currently still
a manually monitored station and readings are taken twice
per day by husband and wife team, June
and Rex Swallow.
