Is the old memory fading? This is the page to ask questions
which perhaps
someone else can answer. |
| We hired a coach and went to London to see the stage
show "the Pyjama Game" When was that? Anyone remember anything
about the event? - Willy |

What on earth!
Angela (Millard) has sent in this photo.
What is
it?
When was it?
All we can work out is that the "thing" is passing the
Catholic
Church. Any ideas?
|
| Re. the above photo :- Richard reckons that's Bunny
Williams on the bike at the rear. He also points out that the person
in the foreground
is
holding
the WYG flag, which should date it as we didn't have a flag for quite
a while. |
| Did Mr Flory (Pam's father) hold our Post Office account
as we weren't old enough? - Richard |
| The revolving billiard table? - Richard |
Anyone remember "meeting Father Christmas" from
the railway station, was there a band? Then returning with him to Church
House to
open our Jumble Sale? -
Richard
Have just (August 2004) received a poster for the Comic
Football Match from
the Gabby Archive and see there was a parade from the station to the Field.
Perhaps
that is what you are confusing it with - Willy. |
| Norman Trinkle wants to know if any one else remembers the
Fancy Dress party we held in Church House in the early years of the Group? |
| I have vague memories of a party in a room in a pub in the
Cornmarket - Any ideas?- Willy |
| Alan Hollick remembers at least one Beatle
Drive being held in Church House. He thinks this was part of Gabby's "Week
of Events" Can
any one else remember this week? According to Alan this week also included
a Silent Film Show, also in Church House, with Peter (Larry) Lambourne
at the piano. |
| Alan also mentions the WYG
Christmas Cards which Gabby had printed with the WYG logo and which didn't
sell and
were "about for
many years" |
| Mary Collins asks about some outings
:- |
- Does anyone else remember the club going to "Guys and Dolls" at
the Pavilion, Bournemouth in 1955 or 56?.
|
- Or joining with the "Young Communicants" to attend New
Year's Eve midnight service at the Minster? The group left to go
there from our clubrooms at Allanbrook.
|
- And Carol Singing in an old people's home. She has memories of
visiting "a
dismal drab Victorian building in Eastboro".

And here's another puzzle photo. Sent in by Alan Hollick.
It would appear to be members dressed up in fancy dress and lugging a
piano
(ours?) on
a trolley. The people are carrying collecting boxes and there is a
notice hanging from the piano but I can't make it out. I have left the
photo uncropped
to include the houses as some-one might recognize the location. What
was this all about? Any thoughts?
|
| Re the above photo Richard writes in December 2004:- I'm
sure they are RAFA members, who asked us to join/help them and I think
the banner carrier is John Richmond.
They are pulling a barrel-organ that used often to be "wheeled
out" for street collections
and often "parked" in the Square before
Christmas.
I've also a feeling that the photo was taken
between Grove Road and Rodway's garage
travelling west - well maybe ! Can anyone date this event? Willy |
