26th April 1997

      Back in the summer, on a visit to Bristol, I met up with Alan, Chris, Phil and Gill for the first time in over twenty years. I'd like to say that Time and Life had ravaged them and that they didn't look a shadow of their former selves .... but I'm afraid that they hardly looked any different at all from the time we played football over the 'Rec.' and all went to Argyle on a Saturday night. (Sorry Gill, but I can't remember you playing football over the Rec!) 

      Middle age has not so much crept up on us all as charged mercilessly up and clobbered us from behind. There's the tell tale widening round the girth, the thinning of the hair, the wrinkles ..... but the rest of them looked normal! 

      A very pleasant evening was spent in the Warwick reminiscing over the odd pint or two (hence the widening of the girth!). We talked about where to hold the Reunion. The Rugby Club on Duncombe Lane was front runner but lost out because it was doubtful whether we could have it to ourselves. We decided not to go for the Warwick just in case Brian fell down the stairs again! Then Alan suggested the Chequers. We went to have a look. It turned out that the Landlady had once been to the Youth Club in the early 60's. Our minds were made up. The Chequers it will be!

	26th April 1997	Youth Club Reunion.   Sue, Jenny & Wendy today. As  they prepare for the Youth Club   Reunion you can see that they  haven't changed a bit since  those early days! Can you afford  to miss it?
