Fantastic photo’s Bill. Looks like you had a terrific day. Sorry I missed it or I would have brought down the Princes Trust crew to cheer you along..! As Bill says, I’m wondering what you are planning for your 90th…!?!? Regards to all, Richie..

What a day we had!

I should plan things better . . . didn’t expect any sun in Liverpool in June; so didn’t take a cap, or sun cream – nothing! Andy loaned me his cap while he was cooling off in the Mersey.
It’s now 17th June and my face and head has finally toned down a little. I look like I’ve been on holiday to Egypt for a month.

A great idea and I enjoyed every minute . . . a great pity we had to leave just before the BBQ! More bad planning on our behalf.

When Bill Wootten and myself saw Charlie take his shorts off, I’m sure we both expected him to just top up the Mersey during a ‘loo’ break . . . not so! He just dived straight in!
The Whiteside’s must have an insane streak somewhere in their genes.

Here’s to Bill’s 90th! Maybe climb Kilimanjaro . . . cycle to John o’Groats . . . or do the Three Peaks again!

Hi Bill

I was in the middle of typing my first message to you when it suddenly disappeared before I had a chance to finish it,( now that is modern technology for you !!) so you will probably get one and a half messages from “Down Under”

Just wanted to wish you a Very Happy 80th Birthday. What a wonderful way to celebrate your special day, floating down the River Mersey on that incredible raft of yours. I guess the icing on the cake was being serenaded by the maestro himself, William Wootten, What more could you have asked for !!!!!

With much love from Norma and Peter. Sydney, Australia ,

Hi Bill

Couldn’t believe it when I heard that you were eighty, you don’t look a day over seventy nine! All the best on this special birthday; as usual you are putting the rest of us oldies to shame.

Happy birthday!!!

Joe, Angie and kids.
