THE RICHARD LOMAS MEMORIAL CHRISTMAS JUMPER COMPETITION - Mike Crabtree

In accordance with tradition the Crich Workshop team held their annual Richard Lomas Memorial Christmas Jumper Competition on Monday 22nd December 2014 in The Brunswick, Derby.

Richard had been a very regular attendee of this event and always recorded it for his blog.

Enjoy, Richard would have done so!

 

It should be noted that Mike Crabtree managed to stay awake for the proceedings this year – the only man known to have drunk a pint while asleep!

 

The assembled throng started off by toasting their absent friend – Richard

Michael Blake surprised us all by arriving and displaying this wonderful piece of sartorial elegance

Father and son Sharp adopted a more rather conservative but contrasting style

Mike Ballinger in resplendent style in his natural habitat - looking after a row of beer pumps, if only all accountants dressed like this!
