Mr Motivator came to the Cambridge weight plan conference at the ICC Birmingham to get the delegates moving on his 62nd birthday. Tired me out just watching him go. Photos show him in action, along with the male & female slimmers of the year, and the Bond themed ball in the evening.

Brotherhood bar in New Briggate, Leeds; a new bar opening in a venue I'm very familiar with. In the past I have been in photographing it as Club Uropa, Bed and Gatecrasher. Now an upmarket food & drink venue.

The NSPCC held their Christmas fair at Castle Howard, this time over 3 days. There was plenty going on, lots of stalls and it also gave me chance to meet the Honorable Simon Howard and Nick Hewer (BBC 1's Apprentice & Channel 4's Countdown). I also got chance to see bits of the building not open to the public, including the Brideshead revisited rooms.

A 40th wedding anniversary party at the Foundry restaurant in Holbeck, Leeds.

A November wedding which was sunny and surprisingly warm. Held at Netherton (Wakefield) and Bagden Hall, Scissett (Huddersfield).
