1. Two Johns and Popsi
 | John Wilson, John Chard and Alan (Popsi) Pool
Another year, another reunion and a good crowd turning up. It was a good night.
Quite a few didn't make it but that was made up by a lot of first-timers although some of them must have been camera shy and dodged my lens.
Among those I saw but didn't phtograph were Brian Griffiths (Little Griff), Stan Moore and Ricky Wilkinson plus someone I was talkng to near the bar but I can't remember who! And how did I miss Ray Ward? He usually loves the camera! |

3. Ged Banks surfaces
 | Ged with his two younger sisters Rita and Frances
Ged Banks has returned to the area after being exiled "darn souf" for the best part of forty years. I had told him of our little do at the Normanby but hadn't expected him to turn up. Anyway, he not only turned up but also brought his two sisters and brother Terry.
He thoroughly enjoyed the night and can't wait for next year! |

When you come into the reunion Barbara Wilson puts your name on a sticker which she clags onto your chest and everyone spends the night looking at the labels then exclaiming "Ee, is that YOU?!"
Unfortunately this year's labels weren't very sticky and kept falling off which makes it difficult for me to identify some people.
If I get a name wrong or use a "?" please write in to correct me. |

Mind you, I can't remember his Christian name, having always called him "Yank" and he was telling me he's now into theatricals - an actor no less! He's certainly changed, even though I knew him straight off. He's taller, yes, and better looking. Strange how some people improve with age while others.... |

A message to all those who didn't make it on the night...
The photos are seen all over the world by old friends who are now Ex-Pats and if they don't see you... they think you've passed on! So next year, make a date.
We'll make sure we have a new batch of name labels which won't fall off and the world will see what lovely people come from South Bank and still live in the area. |
