Do You Remember When

[Dykey]

Remember the Processions down the Main Street?

The one above was early 1950's.


PS

If can name the five (main) people in the frame, I"ll send you a big Kiss/ shake your hand /give a dollar.

The little fellow on the right in the bike basket turned out a real top bloke.

The poles protruding out from the basket, had a material bag on it. This was for donations from the spectators,


N.B.

Goosey still has the three wheeled bike.

Jeez,... I'm glad that I don't know any of them

The "Around Australia" fund raising effort by the Jamestown Primary School in approx.1955.

There was a procession down the main street.
At the head of the procession were school children each holding a letter which said "Around Australia"

It was based on one penny equaling 1 mile.

We collected all the used bottles from around the town and sold them.

I can remember going out to the old Quarry (the next one up from the existing Refuse Pit) in Alf Jarvis's (teacher) ute and collecting beer bottles from the camp site of the quarry workings.

I was in a horse and buggy with Colin & Robert Francis.
(Cannot remember what we represented)

The Films shown by the Scott Family.Sixpence to get in.(The challenge was to get under the heshian side of the enclosure with out being caught, for not paying).
(Bud Abbott & Lu Costell- Charlie Chaplin films)

The "Knock-em-down" tent.

The Strawberry & Icecream

The Band that played in the Rotundrum.

And Father Xmas use to come in Mr Lethbridge's Van and you lined up a got a little present.

I didn't think the Continental was very interesting for you Dykey.

But I do seem to remember a bloke lining up to walk "Blondie" home afterwards.
