Back in the Day (1983), the older Paras used to drink in the Pegasus, they were OK & never gave us any grief it was only the young "Meat Heads" who caused us a problem. Until we showed up with some Gurkha Transport Troops, we just sat back & watched the Cabaret :D

Pint of Carling Black Label an the Hob Inn in Bamber Bridge. Roaring open fire, thatched roof, 350 years of history and a great landlord.

All that is now sadly ruined by a greedy brewery although thankfully I learned the value of real ale some two years later.

Probably it was a Preston Board, with no trebles, never went in the Tanpits myself, but there were the odd Preston board knocking about, I also saw a plasticine board as well, you took the wire of and used a roller to flatten it and fill the dart marks in

He was also an England player - played against South Africa in 1939 I think it was. He gave me a bat autographed by the South Africans and the English team - it is now in South Africa - my brother appropriated it.
