From: Tony Connaughton Sent: 19 August 2006 22:54 Subject: Day Out with Thomas Dear Tony, Have just arrived back home in Truro, Cornwall after 5 hours of travel in a car, really tired but myself and my sons and grandsons full of praise for the efforts of all concerned in making a day that they and I will never forget. The faces of the younger children when they see their favourite engines was a joy to behold, and to ride on some of them was I think the icing on the cake. I can't thank you and all the staff enough for giving us a memory that will stay with us all forever. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon Anthony Connaughton From: David Lowe Sent: 16 August 2006 16:21 Dear Sirs I would like to congratulate everyone concerned for their efforts when we took our 3 year old grandson to the event yesterday. I thought the organisation of the crowds was impeccable. We didn't have to queue much for anything despite the number of people, and the effort that must have gone into preparing all the engines and trucks and the events was magnificent. Our grandson was awestruck when he saw the real Thomas and friends and for him to actually ride them and see them racing is something I'm sure he'll never forget. (The 60 year old had a fabulous time too!) Please convey our appreciation to all concerned and tell them 'well done' See you next year. David Lowe From:David Charlesworth Sent: 16 August 2006 21:23 Tony There was plenty to see and do on the Day Out With Thomas on Tuesday at Ropley. Thomas had his usual races with Diesel and later he took some of his friends into the sidings in Toad while others visited poor James in the yard. Meanwhile at Alresford, Percy was also giving brake van rides. Bulgy was sulking outside because his wicked scheme to replace all trains with buses had been foiled. Regards David |

| Well,
it was taken with Mrs Kyndley's camera but there she is in the photo,
and we don't yet know who pressed the button. It was taken at Ropley in this first week of our Thomas event in August 2006. In answer to your other question - she's just not telling! d:-) |
