Basinga 35th Birthday Party 2009

On Saturday 10^th October, the Basinga committee invited the team of Basinga distributors and some other supporters to it’s 35^th Birthday Party in the Village hall.

I believe the first Basinga went out in January 1975, but the committee chose October as the Official Birthday – a bit like the Queen’s Birthday, I suppose!

Carol Bode, the Basinga Official Photographer, took the photos.
