Hi peoples can anyone remember the placard waving demo of kids back in the sixties when they tried to hold an old car rally on our playing fields before the 'lakes' were developed? Somewhere I have photos of us kids holding these boards trying to stop the council men putting roping around for the car to be displayed. This was before the tennis courts, before the playleadership centre, (it was a garden shed then, literally!), and we all marched into town. We were chanting and singing outside the council offices when they were still in temporary offices, opposite the market when Fodderwick was still a real road.
Love to hear from any fellow campaigners!!
