THIS picture of the Whitecroft Road School football team in about 1964/65 has come all the way from Australia, from former Boltonian Barbara Bithell (Onley).

She says that she is contact with some of the guys on it, but would like to contact the rest.

"We are having a reunion in Bolton, in July next year, so we are trying to get in touch with as many people as possible," she tells me.

"This is rather difficult as the school burned down and there are no records to be had anywhere. We are having to rely on the memories of those people we have already been able to find -- not very easy when it's 35 years-plus since we all left."

Anyway, if you are on the picture or know anyone else who would be interested going to the reunion, you can contact Barbara by e-mail on adalamb@bigpond.com, or Sandra Martin on sandy@trpromotions.co.uk

Barbara, whose postal address is 135 Missouri Street, Jimboomba, Queensland, 4280, Australia, finishes her letter: "If anyone has photos of Whitecroft Road and/or its pupils from 1965/66, would they please let me know."
