STREET NAMES
Holy Trinity Social Club |
|
Your reporter has to admit that, before this meeting was even
over, he had left to go on holiday. And when he got back he
was a bit busy. And so now, in January 2008, he leaps into
action to record as much as he can remember about this meeting.
He tenders his apologies and tenders in mitigation the fact that he
is incompetent.
 |
Off to the usual start - Bill Pope and Barbara
Presland on the door and the box for the raffle draw in
evidence. |
| People start coming in - before the doors had
officiially opened, but who cares? |
 |
 |
Filling up - and we ended up full, with a buit over
100 people there. |
| Reg Aston had an interesting display of old photos
... |
 |
 |
.. and Henry Metzger was one of those studying the
books. |
| A very virtual Gerald Hanrahan. Here on the
World Wide Web is a photo of a television monitor
showing a video of Gerald. In the good old days,
the world would have been spared this sort of thing. |
 |
 |
Light refreshments were available, Megan Fitzgerald
Plummer to the fore. |
| Our Chairman, Alan Bickley, keeps and eye on
proceedings. |
 |
 |
Sandra Aston, George Phillpott and other stalwarts. |
| All ready for a talk. |
 |
 |
Our President, Trevor Genge, gave a most interesting
talk on street names and their origins, concentrating on
local ones. |
|
And then the mike went round for members to add their
own information on the subject. |
 |
At this point your reporter made his excuses and
left. He is sure there was some further entertainment and,
of course, the draw for the raffle. Can anyone tell him
about what went on and/or let him have photos of it, so it can
call be added here?
