VE Day, the seventy fifth anniversary of the end of the war in Europe was everything you could have hoped for… except that is for not being able to mix with you family and friends, and in what one wag referred to as a new “home front” not being allowed to stray any further than your garden!
So many thanks to the Meyers, the Coates, the Drings, the Scaifes, the Armstrongs, the Barkers, the Slaters and the Thompsons for making the most of a bad lot and sharing these lovely pictures with us.
It’s really good to see a couple more Home Groups have moved on line: in one Nathan, Abi, Sam, Andy, Ruth, Ben and Sarah certainly look to have discovered the perfect antidote to lockdown: laughter.
And in the other, Marion, Maria, Jan B, Jan F, Diane, Rita, Nicki who normally meet every other Wednesday at Gwynneth’s home this week spent an hour or so Zooming their way in and out of one another’s homes by courtesy of lap top, tablet and phone.
More from our archive:
Among other notable memories this week’s look back in time see Rod and Roger playing table tennis in what looks like a WW2 bunker, former Youth leader John Hawksworth speaking during our 50th anniversary service, the largely youthful looking cast of our circa 2011 Good Samaritan drama, David Vail going ape and an iguana visiting Lunch Club.
If you have any old pictures of MBC that you would like to share with us, or indeed anything else email them to mbcnewspics@gmail.com and we will include them in a future column.
