Good
evening Brn All,
Some have seen the attached, but certainly not all. This
was the typical
way we were informed of the work to be done by the L in
those days. It's
not quite as neat and tidy as now, but very effective - a
carbon copy of a
hand written page from a note book! Note the two ceremonies
at each
meeting.
On the programme you will see some very well known names,
so pin-pointing
the moment of their joining us. Even in those days W.Bro
Ken Cole was a
force to be reckoned with when it came to delivery. He had
just the right
way of putting it over! W.Bro Ben was equally formidable in
the Chair, as
no doubt you might imagine from recent years during which
he has been
delighting us all with the 2nd deg WTs! W.Bro Emrys Howells
was Welsh and
would charm the Brn with his wonderful lyrical accent;
again a superb
ritualist. Yes; he sang too! Regretfully, I cannot recall
the manner of
working of WM of the day.
Where did it come from? - my piano stool, underneath piles
of old music! I
don't recall when I first played for Crayford(taking over
from W.Bro John
Woodhouse, who took over from W.Bro Dennis Lever - a fine
jazz pianist!);
before 1977, I think, and could easily have put the paper
into the stool
with music after a meeting - some 34yrs ago!
The WM for '77-'78 was W Bro Dick Abrey (thanks to W.Bro
John B, as I'd
completely forgotten!) and the Secretary, who presumably
would have written
out this sheet, was W.Bro Gus Glover(thanks again to John)
who reigned in
that Office for many a year!. BTW, it was W.Bro John who
followed W.Bro
Abrey into the Chair.
I thought this to be a nice piece of L nostalgia, and so to
be shared.
S&f,
Peter.
