This photo shows the camp at Frosterly metioned by Dave Rudge and Anon on page ref t5758. This was taken during a week (Summer 1960 I think) when the camp was shared by Eastbourne Boys Club (The club leader was Tom Petett) and the Methodist Youth Club from Newtown. I do not know who led the youth club but at the time I believe John Smith, Joyce Latham and Val Lee were members. Val and possibly Joyce attended the camp during that week. My memories are of exploring the countyside, swimming in the 'river' and 'young Savage' singing around the camp fire in the evening. Can anyone out there expand on this or other weeks? 11/01/2010 10:37:58

Yes Alan, I remember camping there in early 60's with Newtown Youth Club. Lots of midges! Freda and Gordon Barrett were leaders at time.11/01/2010 12:17:34

The Young Savage you refer to Alan, was it Brian Savage from Eastbourne who went to Newtown then Newham Grange School, because he later became a well known singer round Teesside clubland. He was the same age group as George Boddy, Lol Pitt & Niffy Bower. 11/01/2010 13:36:33

Speaking of Eastbourne youth club, went once or twice with my then girl friend who was an Eastboune lass, this was in the late 60s 67-68. My girlfriend then was Rita Taylor, she lived in Northbourne Rd, we've been married 40 years this year. Knew Ann & George Savage, other Eastbourne lads I knew as a very young lad were George Reed, Eddy Hunnam. Any one remember Rita please ask picturestockton for my e-mail address.11/01/2010 16:40:55

Anon.11/01/2010. Certainly George, Lol and Niffy were the main gymnasts in the club during the 60's and were, if I remember correctly, at the camp at that time. 07/02/2010 10:39:33
