This is a photograph of a Tramps Party held at the 88 Youth
Club on Winns Common. We also had jive competitions and trips
to Streatham Ice Rink, monthly. No comparison with the youth
of today, we enjoyed ourselves without money and designer clothes.
50 years on it is still remembered with affection.
Some of the names I remember from the photo bring back happy
memories i.e. Harold Wrenn, Johnny Edwards, Ray Williams (who
I married and recently celebrated our 40th Wedding Anniversary),
David Mitchell, Harry Parker, Dave Pitcher (Lom) Vick Woodcock,
Kenny Bailey, Dougie Foster, Lorna Limna (still my friend) Carol
Knowles (myself) Carol Monday, Peggy Self, Sheila Tappenden,
David Hampton, to name but a few. At the back to the right is
Gordon Wyness (don't know if Wyness is spelt right though).
HAPPY DAYS.
- Carol Williams (nee Knowles), cousin to Barbara Rosam (nee
Biddle)
