    Ogwen Cottage Mountain School, Bethesda

    I went to Ogwen Cottage around June/July 1967. While there, we helped in the filming of a TV commercial for a brand of dog food (Lassie, I think) - a border collie helping the mountain rescue team. Happy memories. Mabz

    Raymond Froggatt RIP

    I was fortunate to see Froggie in concert - he was an incredible performer on stage and his songs and lyrics hit the hearts of his many loyal fans. A totally underrated performer. RIP Froggie

    LORD CLIFDEN GT HAMPTON ST CLOSED

    This is sad news as I have so many happy memories of the Clifden. During the 60's, my friends and I used to meet in there before going to the night clubs in town. Mabz

    Harry lucas school

    Hi TeresaJayne - I sent you a message. I believe Tony would have left Harry Lucas around 1965 as his sister left school at the same time as myself in 1967. Mayfield

    Pele RIP

    I, like many others on this site was privileged to have witnessed the magic of this man talent. I personally feel that a treasured memory of my youth has now died. Rest in peace Pele. Thank you for gracing us with not just your footballing skills, but your high level of sportsmanship.
