A full round up of pictures from the party is available at the site of Lucille de Villiers – the fiance of my son Robert and the designer of the Politicalbetting masthead.

I’m having some problems putting them on this site but this is my favourite – Sophia and Graham seeing each other’s point of view!

This has Book-Value and Robert in the foreground with Augustus Carp and Icarus at the bar.

In this one TomThumb (pink shirt) talks with Valerie while Icarus is still at the bar.

This is the famous Tabman – the site’s most prolific contributor with more than 3,000 posts.

No Politicalbetting gathering could be complete without Rik Willis – Tory candidate at Sutton & Cheam who revealed at the party that many years ago he had been a member of the SDP.

The view of almost all those who were there was that we should do it again which we will.

Thanks to Lucille for the pictures, Book-Value for organising the event and IG Index and others for their sponsorship.
