Paul Lazenbury - Along with Chris Coley, Lazers is the only surviving member of every Gipsy's jaunt to Thailand. He has taken up a new hobby recently…….ornithology! After the obvious laughter had died down it was found out to be nocturnal ornithology that he is currently studying! (and is bloody useless at it!) Again leading the Gipsies into battle, this self styled ‘Captain Marvel' will be hoping to bring home the bacon!

Mark Briers - Bill Johnson's right hand man (literally!) Briersy has invested in some new technology this year…… a self recording camera…. …. Mark nearly made it onto Celebrity Big Brother, however his views on David Graveney would have to be constantly censored and with the current crisis in English cricket Big Brother deemed it in bad taste and he failed the audition.

Kim Barnett - Kim makes a long awaited return to the track; he has been off the course for 1460 days. Questions about stamina will be the main concern to all punters. However looking at the others in this ‘rag-tag' bunch he shouldn't have anything to worry about! He will also take over the duties as tour fine master.  Great to have him back.   

Karl Pearson - KP as he is affectionately known has one thing in common with his namesake (nuts!). Karl also makes a long awaited return to Chiang Mai; he was last with us when the Gipsies had their one and only success. With his excellent all-round skills the Gipsies look in good shape to attempt to repeat the performance of 2003.

Ben Gannon - The David Bailey wannabe has again been snapping all he can, and now has branched out to do the weddings of the rich and famous! That chiselled frame of his will once again be on display but, sadly girls, Ben has become a nun or at least that's what it says under current employment!  

Dave Terrington - After missing last year Alexei returns to try to reclaim the prize he was born for……Cookie's Ashes! Alexei's profession as a geography teacher will be well used to plot the route from bar to bar, but a shame then that he can't tell his arse from his elbow.
