Brian Duckworth has asked me to let you know that Jo Foster died last night (20th). Jo has been bravely fighting the cancer which was discovered several years ago. Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse in the summer and she has been in and out of hospital for much of the last 2 to 3 months. She was married on Tuesday to John Foster and she had a big smile on her face during the ceremony. Funeral arrangements will be released in due course. Note: Jo had been with John Foster for some years having previously been married to Steve Foster.

No update in January as I have been too busy doing another web site.
Anyway, better late than never as there are sixty-eight new photos added this month.
Thanks to Maurice Cass for two rare photos from Vernon Street Offices and to Beryl Marson who lent me a folder of photos from the supervisors office. Other photos are from the year 1986.
Some don't knows, so let me know if you spot anyone's names that I have forgotten.
The other site I am doing is a School Reunion site. So if you know anybody who went to Long Eaton Grammar School, then please let me know.
Always pleased to hear from you, so email me with your news.

A Fantastic Christmas Edition!
Many thanks to Phillipa Sharpe, Becky Bosley, Peter Jarrett and Maurice Cass for donating the pictures.
As they cover numerous years, I have not yet filed them in the main Photo Album, but kept them in a separate section. Just click on the "New Photos Added December" button, above.
See Becky's photos of the Fun Day, and her take on the "Cheeky Girls" in the hockey team. Also what is Phillipa up to in the canteen kitchen?
Anyway I hope you find something to smile about.
Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

This months new pictures are all from 1985, so they can easily be found in folder 1985. A link is provided to this folder - see above.
Please note that for the time being I have kept the link to last months new photos, in case you missed looking at them.
Some of the photos will appear familiar, that is because they were previously in the 1980's folder as "Unknown Raynesway Do" or similar. I have now been able to date them as 1985 but I'm not sure whether the occasion is Mr Banham's leaving do, or his long service presentation. Anyway, any help from you on this matter or any of the "dk" names that you know, would be gratefully appreciated.
By the way, if you've seen them before, do have a second look at the "Banhams do" photos, as new ones (in colour) have been found, and all the Black and White ones, and more, have been re-scanned from the original negatives.
Thanks to every one that emailed me with corrections and suggestions for the don't knows, and hopefully I have updated all the changes.
Winner of last months competition is Mike MacDonald. (see Photo of the Month button above)
There is no competition this month as I cannot afford the fabulous prizes! However, there is a rather nice picture of Maurice Cass's head to keep you amused.
As always, I appreciate hearing from you, so send me an email, so that I know that you are looking at the site.
cheers John Simpson
October 2004
Hi
Thanks to the many who emailed me with names that I had temporarily forgotten.
My special thanks go to Mike MacDonald, who has found so many of the "dks".
The winner of the Photo of the Month caption competition is Dave Bond for his entry of: "Mirror mirror on the wall". Just what he meant I don't know!
This month, all the new photos have been supplied by Carol and Martin Perks. (thanks - the photos are great!)
All these photos have been put into chronological order. Check out folders, 1980s, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1988, 1989. 1991 and 1992.
Behind the scenes the web site has been split into three to enable for future expansion. The only effect you will notice is that photos are stored on three albums, instead of two. Folders are grouped as follows:
Hope you enjoy looking at Carol and Martin's pictures as much as I did.
best wishes John Simpson (1968 SDWB to 2000 STW)
