Gerry O'Meara. Don't ask him to wash YOUR car !
Gerry has many interests and is a member of "The Chosen Man Society" a society which is dedicated to the Richard Sharpe
books - Obviously every Sharpe fan would love to visit some of the sites and Gerry got that wish when the NMBS visited Waterloo
and Quatre Bras. Gerry's strong Irish roots have made other places that he visited particularly noteworthy for him.
Like the "Irish Stone" at Culloden and The Island of Ireland Peace park in Ypres.

The Birr Crossroads in Ypres were also important for him as Birr (in Ireland) holds a strong family connection
for him. This Irish connection continues with his love of the Irish RU football team and the London Irish RU football
team.

Gerry is one of the most meticulous members of NMBS and will collect all the maps and information on places visited
for reference. His love of concertina postcards is infamous.
