THE PHOTOS ON THE PAPER JOURNAL I HAVE WON’T SCAN SO AS YOU CAN SEE THEM.  i’M LOOKING FOR A BETTER COPY.  TILL THEN THIS PAGE IS FAIRLY USELESS 🙂

This 1938 photograph John remembers as probably having been taken with a small box camera. It is the party at Polnagollum into which Bernard Nelstrop had forced a way through a boulder jam. They are Fred booth, Geoffrey Gowing, Stanley Marsden and Roberts after Bernard had returned home.

The 1939 photograph taken at Killesher has on the back row Nelstrop, King, Roberts, Armstrong, Godley, Chubb, Stringer, Mr Barbour, Marsden, Bowling, Davidson the then President. On the front row are D. Burrow and F. S. Booth.

In 1959, again at Killesher there are on the back row Tony Reynolds, Jack Holmes, John Lovett, John Godley, Mr Barbour, Stanley Marsden, Cliff Downham, Brian Nicholson, Frank Wilkinson, probably Michael Selby and Trevor Salmon (actually John Varney]. In front are Peter Harris and probably Peter Hurrell (actually Trevor Salmon)
