The very one Mr c.. haven't seen Ged' for a while. Last time I saw him he was filling shelves on nights at Asda I think. That Butlins trip we met up in the Australian for the coach to Filey. The wood floors were being swept with sand to clean them before they opened for trade. A few pubs nowadays should take that up.

was told he lives down Church Way these days.

Gerry Moore was my next door neighbour in Church in 2002.

At that time he was driving for Ashworths bone yard.

Denis Entwistle is alive and well living in Clayton and can be found most Sat/Sun afternoons propping up the bar in the Greyhound with Dave Roberts. They both still like their old bikes Dave having imported a classic from India a few years ago. Will share this post with Den’
Bob Burnside.. went to Butlin’s Filey with him and Gerald Moore in 1963, year of the sinking of the Thresher and the big floods in Accrington/Baxenden.

I called in the Forts arms a couple of weeks ago. The weekend of the Beer Festival. Spent and hour there. Smart looking place now. I was at Butlins that same time 1963. Went with Malcolm Taylor but bumped into Bob there. I think there were a few of us lads there that year. Bob Farra, Dave Mitchell. He used to be called Tits at school. I must have bumped into you as well although I dont know your name. Spent a lot of time with Bob and Jazz over the Years drinking in the Bridge but mostly the Abbey another lad who drank with us now and again was Chris Meredew.

Was only in the Forts Saturday night for the Beer Fest', even though me and my lad sponsored the event. So if you nicked a glass I hope you dropped a pound or two in the charity bottle *smirk*
Ronnie Jarratt old boy from the Abbey gets in the Old England quite a bit. In fact started off in there with Tony Palmer on that Saturday.
Lost touch with Chris Meridew after he retired from Hurel Dubois Burnley..think he lives up Baxenden??
