On this hot, later summer day, he’s taken me on a journey, through the hard years, heading towards ’63 and beyond. About the nature of his club, his town, and the blokes around him."​

Sorry Hot Tin Roof, nearly missed this one, very interesting and enjoyable reading.

I was (truly) privileged to have a lot to do with Fred in business later on, and I can only say that he was one of the genuinely nicest blokes I have ever met, an absolute gent at all times.

The book should be a good read as well.

Well, it'd be an interesting yarn, but I suspect from the writing style that he might have to self-publish. Will keep an eye out, however.
