Thanks to Geoff for giving me a few photos for the 'Old Stuff'.
The first two shown here today are from 1989. Geoff can be seen in both photos...in the 1st one he is second from the left in the blue shirt, the 2nd photo he is in the centre with the striped shirt.
Many thanks to Gary who sent this photo taken in the OK Corral back in 1974...he has not been back to Lloret since, so he certainly wont recognise the place when he comes again in August!
Read Gary's email below......

Two photos from Sue today with a more recent one taken just last Thursday night in the Rob Roy.
It was nice to finally meet up with Sue, Pauline and Caroline in Lloret this week, its almost like a mini reunion with the ex workers that are here just now!
Thanks to Steve Potts for these 'Old Stuff' photos. The first one (yes, I think its the right way up) is from the Zoo bar in 1983 and the 2nd from the Texas.
Thanks to Billy for sending these not so 'old' photos in for the Old Stuff.
Billy gave me the following details for the photos.....
It was actually my wedding party in Feb 2006. Hammy, Linda, Willie, wee Colin, Ricky, Tilsley, Russell (Honest) Black, Stevie, Geoff Marshall, George Stuart, Gas, Wee Micky, Hagar and many others were all there. As is a habit with me, ricky and Tilsley, we were the last 3 standing at the bar at the end of the night.
I was recently given a tourist information book which contains some pictures of Lloret from the early days. The top one has 3 dates on the page..1868, 1909 and 1912 so I'm sure sure when its from...did they have photos in 1868?
The other photo looking not all that much different than today is 1965.
By the way the tourist guide book from which these photos were taken is aimed at the Russian tourist's, it just shows who who is coming to Lloret these days. We were down on the beach in Fenals on Tuesday and the only languages we heard spoken around us were Russian or Eastern Block ....Not one brit or Spanish voice was heard!
