The place was Ripon in Englands north,the year was 1967 and in September.The event was the Camping Clubs N.F.O.L (national feast of lanterns) by now the club had been running for some sixty six years.

The guy to the right,with the round cap and beard may well be Shea's husband,John?

The picture also shows Les French,thats him in the third row with a long cape and a drum,Les went on to become the clubs chairman,he has carried the office twice I think,once for two years and once for a year?

To the left is Tracey in the candy stripe costume,she married Les,they had three children,I am godfather to one of them
