GOG Chums & Camp Followers Over the years, the exploits of the GOGs have enticed many otherwise apparently sane people to come & "muck about" alongside these diverse & mischievous souls. Some have been, mucked about, and gone on their various ways. Some leave little trace of their passing, but others have left a rich legacy of "gittishness" that colours our lives to this day. - and then there are those who keep coming back for more... These pages are a small tribute to those "part-time gits" past and present, who are not afraid to have fun. The choice is arbitrary & subjective - please do not be offended if your name is not shown here - but if your name is here, please take it as some sort of compliment!      "Friendships must be built on a solid foundation of      alcohol, sarcasm, inappropriateness, and shenanigans"

In case anybody has trouble understanding the meaning of our motto"Share The Love", here is the definition:- SHARING (thus sharing is a two way process of giving and taking equally - if you cannot see that, you do not belong here)
Absent Friends ~ Absent Friends ~ Absent Friends ~ Absent Friends ~ Absent Friends ~ Absent Friends
Tony Lloyd     Kelvin Woods     Ron Dell     Maurice Sawyer    Phil Scarfe     Les Reed     Gayle Woodul (GBP)    Ray Bethell (Big Daddy)   Harry Douglas David Johnson These were good people who truly "Shared The Love" - we remember them fondly and still fly their kites & banners

We have felt the pain of losing some precious friends recently & wanted to show our love in tangible form
We now have a wonderful wooden Memorial Bench to take with us on our happy perambulations,
so we can have a little rest, while sitting & remembering "Absent Friends" Memorial Bench FB link

"Heaven is a joyful place in the hearts of those who love you"

Many years ago, I found a poem that resonated strongly with my views on life & kites - High Flight
Recently, I found this poem on my computer - did I write it? I honestly don't know... Dreams of Heaven
Just recently, a friend brought this poem to my attention... Death Is Nothing At All

In the Beginning there was The Bench...           It went on a Great Journey - and It Evolved!
Thank you Keith, for having this great idea, and bringing it to life It is now at the heart of of all Git Events with a brass plaque designed by Keith .pdf .jpg	Free DHTML scripts provided by Dynamic Drive
