Such a great picture of long-time BFCC stalwart John Bird we had to print it. John is in his eighties now and had been very ill up to the day of the convention but still made it to be there with us. Well done John. He has the ear piece in as he's trying to get the score from his beloved football team Fulham. He's been a supporter man and boy and only ever misses a game if the BFCC is on.

SETTING UP


We're not letting you down until you start behaving yourself! Now do what you're told and close those damned curtains!


The screen is erected into position once more. This time it's collector Tony Milman to the rescue as Aggers has lost the instructions.


Here is the finished product in 'flat' mode. We're all over 7 feet tall which gives you some idea of scale.
