Band of Blipers

A pleasant Hogmanay spent with fellow Blippers and families, so a big thanks to our hosts.

Two questions.

What is or should be the appropriate name for a collection of Blippers?

A flock , a herd , a school, a band or in this case a congregation could be appropriate.

Who are these eight Blippers? the ninth one being me the flash in the mirror.

Wishing all a happy new year.
