My father, Edward Rigg, is on this photo (3rd row from the bottom, forth child from the right – not wearing a jacket).
He would have been 8. I have the list of all the children’s names. The teacher’s name was Charlesworth.

Oh yes, I remember it well. Are any of you still out there. It was the best youth club ever. Don’t we all look grown up.
I say we but I didn’t join until later that year so I’m not on this.
Some of the names.
L and Right as seen from the front. Centre straightening his tie Wilf Verity, behind Sylvia Birch with Wilf’s brother Douglas, sons of Hedley Verity, famous cricketer. Front right David Birch. Behind him Brian Harper with pretty girl on his knee. Left edge Margaret ? who married Jim Toakley, another member.
I’ll print this out and have another think.
It is all being dragged out of an 80 year old memory. Shirley ( Bailey )

Remembered some more names…..Brian Whittaker, Audrey Harper, Winnie Fox, Marjorie Rhodes. Where are Phillip Best, brilliant tennis player and Donald B who was heading for being an MP.
Their mother was a mainstay of the running of the youth club, fondly remembered.
