Hi Barrie, a great idea, unfortunately since the start of last November dad has been unwell otherwise he'd have been more than ready for a get together, I live near Wolverhampton, retired after 40 years of teaching. Dad still has great memories from those Wellfield days.

Thank you for your comments Barrie, I've thoroughly enjoyed placing them on the Wigan World site, just sorry to hear that some are no longer around to share them.
