In accordance with tradition the Crich Workshop team held their annual Richard Lomas Memorial Christmas Jumper Competition on Thursday 20th December 2012 in The Brunswick, Derby. Richard had been a very regular attendee of this event and always recorded it for his blog.

The bloke standing in the back row left side was first recorded wearing his jumper on Richard’s Blog on 21st December 2008. The same bloke was portrayed on the blog wearing the same jumper on 22nd December 2009, when photographed sat with Richard, it brought a derisory comment from a blog correspondent, thus the same jumper has therefore been worn at every event since! It is now considered to be an artefact and is conserved so as to be available for this annual event, the only time it is now ever worn.
Richards blog for Tuesday 21st December 2010 clearly shows the above jumper being yet again worn by its usual incumbent who is sat with Richard, Richard is seen wearing the most magnificent ‘Harlequin’ of Jumpers, sadly this was to be Richards last attendance at this prestigious event.
Richards blog further proves that the bloke stood up on the right of this years photo was recorded as wearing the same greenish jumper on 22nd December 2009, regrettably on Tuesday 21st December 2010 the same bloke broke with tradition and appeared in a reddish woolly garment.

Some of the participants who all missed an absent friend, somebody generously bought our absent friend a pint but couldn’t abide seeing it going to waste on the table, so it got supped!
Enjoy, Richard would have done so!
