Rich Grass (RPH,78–83)

Mark Heath (GH, RPH,76–83)

Plus a virtual cameo from Pat Campbell (RPH,78–83) via video call.

Apologies were sent by: Nigel Birch (GH, RPH,74–83), Steve Ong (RPH,82–83), Mark Collins (RPH,78–83), Robert Freake (GH, RPH, 76–81), Mark Peeters (RPH,77–84), Giles Peeters (GH, RPH,79–87) and Jeremy Peeters (GH, RPH,78–85).
