| Greetings one and all, This has to be the best moment to date for the Maypole Team and the efforts in creation of the web-site Imagine the surprise for everyone who attended at how many attended ! I felt the turnout was magnificent. Some came from afar away as Portsmouth, Huntingdon, Thanet and Hampshire. Some hadn't met in the last 40 years and some had only ever just heard of the names of others. We broke off into little groups and meandered as the will took us. After an hour or so we adjourned to the Horse and Groom at Leyton Cross. We then went our ways after about 3-4 hours. What a glorious afternoon. There was genuine feeling between all who attended as we basked in the sunlight of our happy childhood times. For those who took some pictures please try to forward those you want to appear on the website to our E Mail address as attachments, if you can. There was much clicking of cameras so there must be quite a few out there. I have to thank, in particular, Sheila Lusher nee Houlton. She had been very busy contacting those who did not have access to a computer. The end result as to numbers has been largely accountable to her. All of us agreed that there should be another meeting of minds and body at some stage in the future. I anticipate it will be in the summer of next year - unless someone has another bright idea ! Here are some pics of some of the gathering who attended the 'Walkabout' on Sat 11th April. |

Looks like you all had a great time, wish I could have been with you. Some names of those on the photos would be handy as I haven't seen most of you for something close to 60 yrs. Make you think won.t it!! Stay well all of you until the next meeting. Regards Steve Parker.
