Please excuse the quality of this picture but it’s been copied from an old image that we believe was shot around 1965/6. It shows some of MBC’s Youth Club, a group of about a dozen of us that met every Tuesday evening in Stonegate House and under its more sophisticated name of Crossroads on a Sunday.
It was taken on one of what became a regular feature… a Bank Holiday hike. These took us into the Dales, to the likes of Kettlewell, Pateley Bridge and Bolton Abbey. However, one particular trip which I believe we repeated a number of times was a camping weekend on the cliffs above Whitby. The one I recall most clearly coincided with the England football team’s World Cup win at Wembley which we listened to on a transister radio.
Anyway, the reason we’ve decidied to post this picture is because of the people in it three are still active here at MBC. See if you can spot them.
There’s no prizes for guessing who they are, just the satisfaction of knowing that the old phrase “my, you haven’t changed a bit” is as daft today as it always has been. Oh and just for added excitment you might like to have a go at guessing who took the picture.
