Marian I think you may wasting your time...there are not many of us left.
What happened to Riley Moors and Kevin Pilkington....David Harker and many others who we knew back then?
I know that Donald Eddleston is a member and visits now and again.
Maybe we are the shy one's who have lived the life and don't regret it?

Hi bondi, did Kevin Pilkington have a pen behind the Bull back in the 60/70, seem to remember this bloke and his dad had a pen and kept pigeons, I asked Roy and he didn't know, but the name Kevin Pilkington rings a bell in that department

i dont think Marian is wasting her time !

Some of us just need a bit of a kick start to get us going.
I worked with RILEYS brother RAYMOND [MOOSE] at J T ROTHWELLS in the 1964 to 1972 era
If i remember correctly RILEY was involved in whippet racing on White Ash
playing fields in the early 1970s

We just called it the Bull in those days, when Ernie Gribble was the Landlord. Those houses did one belong to Albert Bensons' daughter
