Thank you all who travelled to Enfield to spend the time exchanging niceties with a bunch of old age pensioners! (Whoops as we are all or nearly 70, I guess that includes us all) We were down slightly on last year but it was great to greet 4 new attendees, including 2 people from my class at primary school - Jeanette Wesley, and Peter Dixon - and David Collyer and Ron Wyles.
Peter was part of our “gang” when we were aged about 9 and 10. We wrecked my brother’s tricycle in Arnos Park & did lots of other things I am reluctant to put in writing. On the 10th we travelled up to Enfield from Kings Cross by train. Hence the pics of previous scenes of crime! If you are not a Harry Potter Fan the first pic will elude you.
Ron flew in from the Bahamas! He and I have kept in contact over the years, being part of a group including Peter Tuck, Les Martindale, and Dave Barrett who hung around together into our mid 20s. I think we were all present at each others weddings. Ron travelled up to Stony Stratford for our family celebration on the 11th. His 1st wife was there and several friends who like me, haven’t seen him in over 40 yrs.
A special welcome also, to Reg Rogers (1934) our Vice President and North London Group Organiser, and Beryl Skinner, (Hayter 1942) Treasurer & Web Organiser who joined us again. They both do so much work for TOSA.
