Rod Gall, ( Glesga Pal, Caltoncuddy ) Australia
"...I found these programmes at a garage sale in Adelaide and
knowing of your great love of the BB I thought you may like to have them.
I'll take this opportunity to thank you for your Glesga Pals website, its
wonderful to keep in touch with home in such a hands on way. I just love
making new Glesga Pals from the four corners of the earth... long may it
flourish...."
