In a moment of madness way back in 1969, Jenks decided that the old place needed a lick of paint. I was at art college at the time, so myself (as a regular at the guild) and two others - Mike Cosgrave and Graham Ralston were given the job in the Easter holidays. Jenk's reasoning being that if we were art students we should be able to paint! Two days later and the worst paint job in the history of paint jobs, we were told to 'buggar off', and in true Jenks style he didn't pay us a penny. My memories of the guild are all fond though. Best folk venue ever, then and now.
