Bygone Days

We have discovered (although I'm sure they were not lost, just a tad ignored) some old photos' of the club and its members. I haven't scanned them all but here are a sample - see how many you can name.





There is one current first-teamer on these photos. We think it's pretty obvious but he is not as hirsute as he was!!

The following pictures show the clubhouse in various stages. The first one appears to show the clubhouse in its original form which looks to be little more than a shed. This is followed by a picture of what we imagine to be the opening of the clubhouse - centre stage is Norman Morris in the trademark jacket, no doubt about to recreate his famous scene from the wooden horse.


The third photo is another team shot, but this one shows a clubhouse of a stylish wooden appearance. Some of us may remember dismantling the old clubhouse (pictures still exist on the OTBC website I think) but i prefer this version to what we have today.



For anyone interested, Norman is the one playing the violin at the window starting at about 41:45

    I remember those windows well. While a child playing at the blakesley i was forced to climb through them so we could play a cup game. Someone didnt take the top slat out thogh and it came crashing down in my head as i tumbled gracefully to the flooe.
