My dad worked in formans rd and we used to go to the lucas parties from the late 60s to early 70s. The excitement started when you recieved an official invitation to the party with a picture of santa on it, without this ticket you werent getting in. They used to be held in early december. first thing you would turn up at formans rd, there would be kids everywhere they would check your tickets and then bring to canteen theatre part and put on a brilliant show then in the interlude you would go into the canteen and have some pop and biscuits or crisps, then when your finished you would head back to the show. I remember they used to have a model of a house beside the stage with a window, outside the window somebody was dropping snow flakes every few minutes it would stop obviously to sweep up and drop again. Any way the highlight of ythe show was when santa would arrive it was so exciting. Then we would all file out and they would have presents wrapped to give to us. These parties were the highlight of the year for us and our family still remember them fondly sadly I dont think many companies would do this for their staffs children these days, anyway Thanks Lucas.
