Come on guys, and galls if any, who is the oldest member on this forum.
I'll start it off at 83 D.O.B. 13/09/1930

Cripes, I'm a mere lad at sixty-seven.

And I must be just a baby at 60.

I'm a product of 1966 but can i claim the newest members waiting in the wings born on Sunday 15th December 2013. Henry 7lb03oz and Charlotte 6lb14oz. Mrs P still hasn't worked out why i've suggested apple green and garter blue for a colour scheme.

Congratulations to you and the missus, Richard. a wonderful Christmas gift, indeed.

So far then, I'm in the middle of the pack at three score years and ten. Never did like numbers - even less the older I get.

A fine vintage Strang Steel.

Boris, you're three months older than me! 11/12/1930.
Mind you, Having to live down here in Essex puts years on you.

I'm in the middle at 62, but are there active younger members out there? I always worry that the knowledge will fade away with the older generation, which would be a huge loss. But do all of the older generation think that anyway!

I'm verging on becoming 18, but i'm sure there's a 16yr old who posts semi - regularly on here

Active at the NYMR out on the track or under a civils wagon.
Dating from July 57 so that makes me 56.

Hi everyone from still the oldest member,,up to now "A Merry Christmas to One and All"

And to Bricam5 don't worry Once a Yorkshireman Always a Yorkshireman.

Reminds me of a joke I heard recently, A guy talking to his mate said,
"I met a Yorkshireman yesterday"

To which his mate asked "Did he say he was a Yorkshireman?"

The guy said "No"

His mate told him "Then he wasn't a Yorkshireman"

All the best from LEEDS, ex Kiveton Park where "The double headed Fish" came through at 20 to 4 in the afternoon leaving its aroma from the dripping ice over the village for at least an hour.

Well done Geoff.

Glad there was someone to beat me.

Congratulation to the new oldest member.
I've obviously picked a good retirement hobby(albeit a return), which is coupled to longevity.

I'm a mere lad of 73, 01.05.1940. We had a working member on the p-way at ELR until quite recently had to retire at 89, sadly no longer with us.
