MIKE SAFFERY - R.I.P
It was also an opportunity to say farewll to an old GASS member. Mike Saffery passed away last month and will be sorely missed. There will be a wake in his honour as soon as the pubs re-open.
Below is a reminder of what things were like in happier times, a group of us guys enjoying a dinner back in the heady days of 2019, lets hope we can do something like this again soon. Instead of freezing our arses off outside in the cold with masks on and 2m spacing, discussing how best to keep our businesses afloat in these troubled times.
