12 months is a long time in Leicester....

Lockers's engagement ring on Sunday (and on her hand)

February 2006, Leicester

"Is it OK to marry your daughter"?



Members will be delighted to note that the former housemate and nuptial attendant of the Vice Chairman and Chair of the Wines & Spirits Committee is now in the throws of arranging her own nuptial celebrations, as “Jobless” Lockley is to be married to Welsh Dave this December. Welsh Dave has celebrated the occasion by purchasing a new pair of trainers and by having his hair cut, so he is obviously keen, a good sign if there ever was one. The engagement took place in the Peak District atop a hill, the question initially being met with hysterical laughter. Lockers then said yes, and jumped on top of her fiancĂ© – I’m sure she won’t mind me mentioning this. Quite a celebration indeed.

As promised to the Cox & CWSC, I photographed the ring for your inspection, which I am delighted to reproduce here. I would have taken something vaguely resembling an engagement portrait, but Jobless has just had her gaul bladder out (the result of too much French wine in her youth) and even your Chairman respects the decencies of the situation and does not photograph a lady without her face on .

The best of luck to them both – your Chairman for one considers them to be ideally suited, and did from the first time he met the man previously known as Ralph Little.
