I thought I'd submitted all of these but just found this one. The Wellfield Hotel lads one Sunday afternoon in the 1960's.
Left to right at the back, ? Barker, Frank Barker, Ray Holgate, Dennis Joynt, John Roscoe,
Front, left to right, John Barker, Keith Charnock, Peter Harrison and Billy Joynt. I always remember Billy's favourite record was "Danny Boy" sung by the fantastic Slim Whitman who I understand celebrated his 87th birthday last month.

Roy, how many times have I told you to take off those dark glasses before you try to read something?

Hi frank.c! Would that be Frank Carter by any chance? Southport, that sounds about right and as for getting lost that's definitely right. Good to hear you're still around, how are you?
