Thanks, Colin. Happy days, eh? Tick and pass in the Grove with the lamppost marking the try line!

I used to know a girl called Pat Halligan from Beech Hill. She's not the baby in the photo is she by any chance ?

I remember Tommy & Bessie well, they served as stewards in SLG Labour club. My Bro' was in Jacks class at Sacred Heart, & I was 5 years behind in Bettys' class.
Salt o'the earth Jack was..RIP

Graham, you're right, it is Pat in my grandma's arms!

Hi Art. I know my grandma and grandad were steward and stewardess at Beech Hill Labour Club, and Jack was president there for a time. Not sure about SLG though.

Alan. Another great photo. Looking at it, you are a younger version of your grandad Tommy! You certainly have a look of him in my opinion.

They definitely did a spell in SLG LC, after they left Beech Hill LC. Up to then, I only knew Betty & Jack thro' school..Up to his death, Jack was a regular at the Keepers..

Was Liz your cousin Alan?...she used to live next door to us in Beech Hill.

Thanks, Art. I knew they worked at the Subscription Club for a while after they left Beech Hill LC, but I didn't know about SLG. Maureen, Liz was indeed my cousin.

First of all Alan, can I say that I love his photo.

Nan and grandad did do a spell in SLG Labour Club. We have a photo of my mum holding Anita in there. I only know because I asked my mum where it was taken.
