Does anyone remember Davy United club in the 60? I used to go as a member of the amatuer dramatic society. We put on a panto at Xmas and a musical or straight play in the summer.

 

Frank Hammond, Wendy Wragg, Phil White, Mick Lee, Joan Foster, Henry Wragg were all leading lights, any idea what happened to them?

I dont remember Jack but do remember Harry Knight who worked in that department.

 

did you know Jack (John ) Cooper? Draughting/estimating until late '66- he was into amateur operatics and would probably have been part of this.

I belong the am Dram society at Davy's but more in the 80's. Played principal boy and girl in many a panto there. Remember Harry Knight (he also belong an Operatic Society I belonged to) Remember the Brewsters, Edith Foster and many others. Happy days!

Thanks for reply, I remember Joan and her elder brother David, I think Joan married Frank Hammond at about the same time Wendy Wragg married Roy Smith and Mick Lee was best man (I think) would be around 1968.

 

I went with Mick on an acting course were we both got offered auditions for RADA as we were both working full time we turned it down. What a missed opportunity.

 

Frank, Joan and Wendy were mainstays of the dramatics we had some great times.

back on line after holiday, hence delay in replying. Edith was Joan's mother

I don't remember many the names you mention as it was later on when I joined, but I did have some happy times there and played Principal Boy and Principal Girl in a lot of the pantos at that time.
