“I still have great memories of my tour with Campion to Canada in 1991. Flying off, no more worrying about ‘A’ level results, what was done was done!

Whenever I meet up with old colleagues from our tour we still talk about the fun we had and the incidents both on and off the field.

Not all can be repeated here!”
