Social Club in Wynyard Road
I'm originally a "Wagga" lad. I married Babs in 1963. 2 weeks later, President Kennedy was shot. We moved to Jamieson Road- we loved living there bringing up our family. Our neighbour was Nora- she was a barmaid at the Owton Manor Social Club. Over the years, I have lived in many part of the town.
I was a member of the Owton Manor Social Club, myself and my family had many happy times there.
I have really enjoyed talking about my memories today.

The club members had been meeting for many years in each other's homes and sometimes Rossmere School.
