Okay, look I do thank you
very much
for coming out on a
Thursday night
and sharing tonight with us.
I hope you've had as
good a time as we have,
and it is a night that we will
always remember
and never forget,
for one reason or another. I do thank this
wonderful team of mine,
Ross and the boys in A to Z,
give them another big hand.
Anyway, this is all about those wonderful
lady Rough Riders
that we had in Australia all those years ago.
