Pennsif - The Early Years - School Fete 1966

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


This was my school fete in the summer of 1966.

My mum was involved in organising so I got to present flowers to the 'celebrity guests' who opened the fete. I looked neat and proper with my little bow-tie but I ruined it all by shaking with my left hand.

One of the posh ladies in a pink dress was smoking - you wouldn't see that these days.

It said on the poster that the fete was to be opened by Richard Whitmore, a BBC news reader who lived locally. But it looks like he didn't make it as it wasn't him making the speech, and many years later I went skiing with his daughter.

I wish I knew what song The Clarions were playing. You've got to dig the two accordians.

That was my auntie in pink bowling for a pig.

I think it was the following year that I caused a bit of a scene at the Bowling for a Pig.

I won it - but as I was little they wouldn't let me have the pig and gave me ten shillings instead.

I really, really wanted the pig!

ALERT, ALERT - stand by for some politically incorrect fancy dress...

Heck, what is all that cultural mis-appropriation going on here? And the bunny girl!

I was all cool though - I was the blue dog holding hands with the brown bear.

Anyone remember Yogi Bear and Hucklebury Hound?

Pick a Pocket for sixpence - you would get arrested for that these days!

Now let's look at ladies legs to finish up. What about men's legs?

Whatever happened to the good old ways...

Damn never actually took in how old you were until now. You're older than my Dad. My childhood is on a mix of (unmigrated) Digital 8 Camcorder tapes (that camera still lives on to this day), prints from film, digital camera and smartphone. It's quite amazing all the mediums I exist on to be honest. LOL

The old days were some of the best.
With nothing to worry about just hanging out in school.
The homework was a chore but it was a simple time.
Besides, it was pretty fun to just chew some gum and skip out on class.

one of these days I want to rework one of my old films from secondary school and make something interesting out of it
