hi bill

I must remember you as you have moved around in the same circles as me.

I hvae known many of the names you mention for many years.
Some unfortunately no longer with us. (Pete Wilmot's recent sad passing was reported here a few weeks back.).

I used to go to the Maltshovels - my Uncle & Aunt were landlords there at one time.

My wife is a good friend of Ken Scott's wife and we had many happy times with them. I too played cricket for Hale Barns as a junior but I think that was before you and Bob Morton.

I was a member of Kersal Rugby Club when Pete Wilmot opened the Folk nights there.

I still see ken Greenhough around as he comes into Northwich sometimes.

He is still playing - I think he is now with a band called Calico Jack.

Fond memories indeed....

Best Wishes
