I have put some photographs from the 1970s on the web.

How many can you name? Most are well known, some are fairly obscure. I would expect Wil Prichard and Martin Murray to do pretty well and would expect 100% from Paul Hands.

scroll down for answers....

 
















Apologies for any spelling mistakes and I am afraid I do not know who is sitting with Maurice Reckitt and number 28's surname but I expect PH does.

Some of the more obscure photos

Number 9 - Bomber Shakleton rose to fame when she was beaten in less than half an hour by Paul Hands. (Having taken all of her 21 bisques)

Number 17 - Dagma Kitchen, Bombers friend, features in another PH fable. It might be considered invidious to post it here.

Number 7 - Billy, was the Prichard's Jack Russell who I believe only went on the lawn at the end of a Prichard game
