First entry

We met at Phyll's this afternoon to talk about pre-war radio programmes.I had no idea that the 'Ovaltinies' were on Radio Luxembourg.I thought it did only illicit rock 'n' roll.We deplored the lack of health and safety when an 8 yr old struggled to carry an acid filled accumulator to the chemist's for its refill.Fortunately the singing of sentimental songs was brief.We preferred to remember the comedians.

Then we looked at very old photos,blown up on a computer; elegant clothes for weddings in contrast to wonderful sand castles with the children grinning nearby.We'll all bring some old photos next time to aid the delving into our pasts.

I'm happy to write my memoir but others will be using a new style dictaphone.This can be plugged into a PC, so CDs can be burned .Then family can hear their relative voicing their reminiscences .A marked improvement on mere paper and ink.

Next time, we are at Joyce's on Monday June 22nd from 2 till 4pm (25 Shepherds Hey Rd.)
If you fancy giving Memoir a try, please ring Joyce on 8086 6201 or Phyll on 8086 4877 or me on 8086 9053.

All welcome.

Thanks Myra
