Tents at weekend camp.
Camp 1964 Nolton Haven
There was no professional photographer engaged this year so I volunteered to take the group photograph on an Agfa Isolette (2.5 inch square negative). I printed up whole-plate copies but they received a rather mixed reception. Campers mostly came from Higham, Rochester, St Augustines, Derby and St Stephen’s, Coventry.
Helen Perry, Lynn Elkington, Frankie Coxen, Anna-Marie Munday & A.N.Other receiving briefing from Ralph Weller from Higham.
The Rider Family- Dennis, Pat, Sarah & pet. Now why would one call that dog Shaggy?
Ricky Channing
Was it really that warm at Nolton Haven in 1964?
Ian Holiday. Just look at all that hair!
Ian insisted on taking my photograph as well. Umm. Just look at all that hair!
1964 Reunion at Higham
Camp 1965 Cei Bach
My photograph again. Taken on a new 35mm camera. Still a stretch for such a small negative.
The Bullying (all in good fun, what?)
The Chores
The Beach
The Bank
The Childish Behaviour.
The clear blue sky.
The unreliable transport.
The Restaurant
The Romance
O.K. Until my girlfriend arrives tomorrow from Higham. Lynn Elkington & Ian Holiday share an embrace (at Ian’s request).
Camp 1966 Borrowdale. A much smaller affair for the Junior Clubs.
This one taken by me again, this time sheltering from the rain.
Hunt The Nark. Team Members disguised themselves and hid in the vicinity from the campers. None of the young campers failed to spot me as a hunch-backed old woman but I fooled numerous hill walkers who were mightily surprised to see me vault a gate when I came to one. I have seldom laughed so much.
A particularly good photograph of Tony Betts on the far right, next to Jennie Faulkner & Von Hasler. Paddy Langham didn’t really need to dress up in that old mackintosh; he dressed weirdly enough anyway. Then there is Leslie Channing and Chris Wiles. I cannot remember Ivor’s (far left) surname, nor the names of the other four people.
Camps 1967 Nolton Haven again
No group photograph so just a sample of single shots:
Val Hasler in front of mysterious barn.
Jane Elkington & Hilary Armitage at the local laundrette.
Me (Mike Kent) in pullover knitted by my Gran. Possibly for someone else.
Super elegant Paddy Langham. (See what I mean?)
Chris Wiles
Dental hygiene in the luxury washroom. What a lovely flat field for a camp site and what a nice bracing wind. (1967). Michael Barton & John Bardoe.
