Photos from ??

Thanks to (l wont say who) for passing on these not so old photos, they show 3 people having a fantastic time meeting up for the first time in 30 years ... but can anyone name them?

A special message

I've had an email from Pat Murphy asking if l could pass on some information about Peter Piper, so here's a copy of his message....

Hi Jackie,
Pat Murphy here, hope you and yours are well, I didn't make the re-union this year but hopefully 2012 fingers crossed. Could you do me a favour could you let anyone or everyone who knew him that Graham Heywood aka THE PUFF aka Peter Piper who sang with Jeff Fartuncle in the Duke of York amongst other things is alive and well and appearing alongside Shane Ritchie in Aladdin at the Cliffs Pavillion in Southend on Sea. He said he's lost touch with a lot of people but sends everyone his regards and wishes them well and hopefully I can talk him into going to the next re-union. He has been on the website but doesn't quite know how to use it. Anyone going on a cruise this year look out for Peter Piper.
 
Many thanks Jackie have a very merry christmas and a happy new year same applies to anyone who knows me.
 
Cheers Pat

Bargain Book?

Can anyone remember the Bargain Book?

 Many thanks to David Buckland  (ex Thompson rep) who has been in touch and sent in theses copies of pages from a book which was given out to tourist in the 70s, heres what David says -

"Here for your dear followers is a bit of Lloret history “The Bargain Book”

It was sold by reps for pocket money for several years in the early 70s

It was very popular and encouraged visitors to visit the special bars listed in either Calella or Lloret

It was the brain child of a super guy called Barry Clifford who also ran the popular

Night excursion called “Discotour” which I guided often, we used to lose a few

guests at each disco we stopped at!!! Eventually returning (what was left of us?) to Lloret for a quick dash to the Moby Dick Disco"

Brian Photos

Thanks to Brian for theses photos! I'm sure we all recognise a few of the faces on here!

Does anyone remember Brian?

Brian recently got in touch after just finding the 'Old Stuff' he worked in Lloret for just one season in 1980 at Topo 't' Tops, a few words from Brian - 

"I'm the one in green next to cyril !!.l've got some more somewhere with Malc Coombes on ,just need to find them out . l then went on to work in Kassiopi in Corfu for 7 summers. now have had a bar in Nerja for almost 9 years, Cyril pops in when he´s down this way"

Photos from Sue Vale

Todays photos from Sue date back to the early 70s. Sue, Harry and Sandra are in the top photo can we put any more names to the faces?

ln the next pics Sue & Sandra are pictured with friends outside the lstanbul Club.

Mariano's Photos

Thanks to Mariano for  these photos - the top 2 both from 1973 in the Western Saloon (Yates as we know it now!) and Mariano says that it was taken just a few hours after it was closed down by the police, then about 3-4 weeks later the Londoner was also closed down.

Not one house built on Roca Grossa yet!
