Bob Sawyer’s Luncheon Guest List…..

“First let me welcome our Guest Speaker – a charming comedy natural, Josh Daniels.
His career all started by making friends & family laugh after changing the lyrics to songs
(he’s been doing it since he was given his first guitar when he was a 12 year old), and is what
led Josh on the road to what is now a very successful comedy career. He is guaranteed to
make you laugh from the moment he steps in front of the microphone, to long after the
lights go out…. I will leave you to be the judge of that.

We welcome, Steve Poulter, former GB international and professional rider. He rode in
the 1983 World Championships in Switzerland, the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, and was a
National Team Member from 1979 -1984, riding multiple stage races, the Milk Race, Peace
race, Sealink International and Coors Classic to name but a few. And rode the
KelloggKellogg'ss Tour of Britain in 1987.He has lived in the USA for the past 32 years, and
has been a driver for UPS for many years. Steve has just been given the UPS Circle of
Honor award for 25 years of faultless driving. Companies in the U.S. love to give out awards
to encourage loyalty…needs to speed up in my book, get a few more packages delivered to
get my award!

Smiggers. Stanley Harris on Table 38 is the uncle of Tom Cummins, and he is training for an
