"Congratulations Rob on your well-deserved award...really there isn't a nicer guy it could have gone to."

Yeah, I totally agree. Phil might not though ;-)

Here's a small number of my pics from the weekend.

I had a great view from my hotel room


Caz doing her "How much darlin" impression.


Colin Cobb the MC for the weekend and what a great job he did.


Stuart Orme was the first speaker. And he was talking about Alice McKenzie and Peterborough. A fascinating talk and it got the weekend off to a good start.


Chris George was next up talking about the police activity from Kelly to McKenzie. That's Jeff on the left who did an excellent job of filming the weekend.


A break in the proceedings.


Colin about to announce the man of the moment.


And here he is. M J Trow a very nice man who came across as very likeable.


Philip talking about what can be achieved in photoshop.


Bill Beadle, the Whitechapel Society chairman showing off the cheque for £1410.00 which was raised by the Society for Jeremy Beadles favourite charity 'Children with Leukemia'

[Rob Clack]

Last lot.

Ripper's corner Mitre Square


Gareth with his back to the camera ruining my shot.


Paul Begg the only speaker who was given a chair. Everybody else had to stand. Paul gave a very entertaining talk on Leather Apron.


Richard Jones looking like he had just been shot.


Richard was talking about Jack the Ripper and the Spiritualists and very good it was.


I think Richard was trying to hypnotise some members of the audience.


Adam and Liza, don't ask.


John auctioning a very special edition of his book. It's got the signatures of everybody mentioned in the book (those that are still alive anyway)


Loretta Lay and if I knew what was going to happen next I wouldn't have been around to take this picture.


John taking questions and flak after a showing of his film 'Ripperland'.


The Monsoon after the conference was over.


Neil was wondering why Kate's eyes were looking very bloodshot. Then he realised it was the reflection from his tee shirt.


Colin Cobb in Cobb Street.

If I'd known I'd have slipped my camera into your front pocket!!! Oooooooh 'eh!!!! xxxxxxxx

[Rob Clack]

Hey Debs,

I think the next receipient should be non other than your good self. Its about time a female was recognised as there are so many good lady researchers out there.

Your own outstanding work merits such an acknowledgement....Adam et al better be reading this.

Monty

Got to agree with that. What Debs has done over the years is incredible and the recent finding of the real Timothy Donovan confirms it.
