Dave King is still alive and kicking in Hampshire. He recently donated a huge box of club material to the museum

Sorry Carol, but Terry is still stage struck. Who'd have thought all those years ago that we'd now be on the www.!!!!

Hi William,  glad to know you are still about, and yes, Terry has not changed at all.

I would like to add that Bill Owen also wrote two other short plays for the same group, one being The Ragged School and the other one was called Begin And Never Cease. I will try and look out some photos, very proud of what we achieved with those in the 60,s. I have had the very good fortune to speak to Tom Owen, the son of Bill, several times, as he lives not far from myself.

Hi Ian, well done with the photo, I have many of them but do not yet have the skills to put them on this website! I will have to visit your sister in law, not to "mention" your brother, for lessons.

I am next to Terry in the Ragged School picture. Does anyone remember when we went to London to see Bill Owen and Spike Milligan in The Son of Oblomov at the Comedy Theatre about 1966/7? We also incorporated a visit to the top of Big Ben, we were up there when it struck 2 o'clock. How lucky we were and what good times. Has anyone any pictures of the Keystone Cops, another of our performances? I am sure there is a cine film, maybe Dave King has it. We took one of our performances to Glyndebourne and picnicked "on the lawns" - anyone remember?

Hi Keith, I can remember them all.  The other venues that spring to mind are, The Dome in Brighton, The Royal Festival Hall in London, staying in the Baden Powell House, Birmingham, staying at Stratford On Avon and many many more. It was all a very exciting period of time for us.
