Thanks to Norman.

 Thanks to Norman for these photos which he sent all the way from Australia. He also sent some very interesting pages from the Lloret Scene magazine, which gives a good example of how cheap the drinks used to be!

Norman gives some of the names, but would like to know who the others are, can anyone help?

1]  Isobel and two girls who came to Lloret looking for work, unfortunately I cannot remember their names, perhaps someone can?
2]  Isobels sister, her name is Mercedes and her friend I think was called Angel?

More from Anthony in Sweeneys!

 Thanks to Anthony Angus for these photos from Sweeney Todds,  I believe the year is 1988.

Thanks to Trevor.....

Many thanks to Trevor for letting me take some photos from his website for the Old Stuff.

He has just had a few days in Lloret, sadly I didn't get to see him as he was too fast for me to catch him....judging by his photos he was here, there and everywhere! 

Those of you who were here in 1985 may remember Trevor when he was working for Andy & Jackie Milroy in the Sgt Peppers where he started his very successful career as a DJ.

He also worked in Churchills and Sweeney Todds.

Trevor has a great website which gives not only details of his career past and present,  but he has also a page from his days in Lloret along with photos, follow the 25yrs anniversary link on his website.....Trevorcooke.com

Two photos from Geoff

Thanks to Geoff for todays photos. 

 It looks like the same people in both photos, who won the fancy dress contest?

Photos from Norman.

Norman has sent in some of his photos taken during his time in Lloret 1966 - 1975.

He is now in Australia and has just found Lloret Old Stuff!

In his email he asks about people who were here at that time.

Hopefully some of you can answer Normans questions ..........

From Norman...

 

 I have only recently discovered your page about Lloret and it has sparked lots of fond memories of my time there from 1966 to 1975. It is really wonderful to see, thanks so much.

 For a number of years I was the manager of The Prince of Wales, under Graham Leslie Young and Isobel Perez Escartin, who were both business and person partners. 

My question therefore is. What happened to Graham and Isobel? My understanding is that Graham is still in Lloret but that Isobel left many years ago, do you know if this is true?

I have attached a few photos which may be of interest.

The people in them are where? I do not know, perhaps still in Lloret?

The first photo is of myself with Isobel and Mac behind the bar of the Prince of Wales. I wonder what happened to Mac as well?

The second photo is of Isobal and a guy who's name I think is Lance?

More from Sue.

One of the photos from Sue today goes back to 1971 which could be a  bit early for most readers out there to remember. The top one with Stevie and Rish in Buzzbys is far more recent...its even in colour!

What year would this be, late 90s or so?

 

Photos from Colin & Angie - Gerry's Bar

Thanks to Colin and Angie for sorting through their old pics from Gerry's Bar and giving me a new batch for the Old Stuff, some include photos of the Norwegian visitors who came back to Gerry's year after year.... and still do today! Some used to travel down to Lloret on their motor bikes and park them in the garden while they were here and at times even camp out there!

In the 2nd photo it  looks as though Frankie was very popular with the Norwegians also....who is she, anybody know?

A mini Reunion.

I received these photos from Sharon a few days ago, I know they are not exactly what we see on the site but its nice to see old friends meeting up for a mini reunion!

Here's a copy of Sharon's email.....

Hiya Jackie... Hope you are well. Just thought I'd send you a couple of photo's to add to the site. We had a little reunion in London for the day, and what a great day it was!!!! Linda, Vilma, Sharon & Christine.Looking forward to the next reunion. Thanks, take care. Sharon. X

Sue's Photos

Thanks to Sue for  bringing more of her photos for the site when she recently came on holiday with Carolyn and (aunty) Jean ...nice to them all again!. I believe both of todays pics are from the year 1971, I recognise a very young looking  Gerry and Colin in the 1st,  is that Sue in the middle of them with dark hair??  and Malachi is in the middle of the 2nd photo.

John's Photos

Thanks to John for todays photos, he is wanting to know the name of the guy in the Westcoast T shirt in the first picture....can anyone out there help?

Photos from Steve.

We are going back to Yates in the year1982 in the first of Steves photos today, his second photo is just one year later 1983.

Photos from Joe.

 

I was asked last night if there was any way we could have a calendar on the site in which you could all personally fill in with the dates of your visits to Lloret.

After searching around this morning the easiest one I came across is already on the Message Board. With this you only have to click on the icon at the top of the page after you have signed into the board...then simply click on new event, and fill in the dates of your stay and any other details such as where you are staying etc. (dont forget your name!) That way it would be easier to catch up with friends you haven't seen for a while and maybe arrange to meet up through the board.

Hopefully this will do the trick so give it a try and we'll see if it works out ok....let me know if you have any problems!

There is also a link to the calendar on this page in the left hand column.

Thanks to Joe for his photos today, the top one features the Texas, the 2nd is from the Buchaneer and last but not least the Village Inn.

Last 2 from Russell

Thanks to Russell for these photos from the Village Inn, they are the last 2 of the selection sent in from his album.

Sad News.

Every so often we are saddened by the awful news that we have lost a dear friend. I'm sure that this time the friend we have lost will be a massive shock to everyone. Sadly Omelette died on Tuesday, as yet we have no details other than he had been taken into hospital with breathing problems. He will be greatly missed in Lloret...especially after all the years he 'entertained' us all

What a character, I'm sure they'll never be another one like him!

Condolences to Omelette's girlfriend Carol and family.

Photos from Ann.

Thanks to Ann for bringing over some photos to publish on the blog when she came on holiday earlier this month with her son Toby. Nice to see them both again, and hopefully will see you again at Christmas....if not before!

Photos from Geoff.

Photos from Dave.

Dave McGuigan recently sent these 2 photos for the the blog the year is either 1984 or 85, they do look familiar so apologies if they've been published before!

No doubt about the details of this photo from John Chaisty, he has included all names and even the score of the game!

Thanks John...

Lloret de Mar - Old Scenes

Thanks to Linda for these excellent shots of the sea front  in Lloret after the storms which brought caos to the town a few years ago. Linda thinks it was about 7yrs ago, which is possibly right after mentioning the photos to people last night.
