2019 ~ THE CANADIAN FLAG SALUTE

Following from Tim:
"Dear All, it went splendidly, being the 3rd round we now have a strong family atmosphere so there is no stiffness, that said, joints were well oiled by the donation of 3 bottles of Jamaican overproof by dear Laurence Jones, their trade commissioner! More later, and a link to BFBS who filmed it but not broadcast yet.
Tim
PS; David, would you mind posting the pictures for us?"
Please four photos attached.

Also:
