  1. Recall seven good years in the 121st Nottingham Scout Troop, with regular camps at Walesby, regular weekends in a little hut much nearer the city, and memorable trips to Sark in 1947 and 1949, and France in 1948, when travel was very much train and ferry. A Kings Scout trip to London, sleeping on board Discovery, and a March Past at Windsor Castle was a later feature, just before National Service took over my life. The Scouters were Raven and Merlin I recall, and our uniforms were distinguished by our grey jerseys. I wonder if the troop still exists and if so are they still attached to a schoo
  2. Regular Saturday, first house, visitor to the Gods ‘45 to ‘48, and well remember the scramble to get in the front row. Remember the Billy Cotton Bandshow, the magic shows ? Dante, and did I really see badminton played on ice. And of course Wilson , Kepler and Betty, and Nosmo King, and old Mother Riley. It was the weekly treat.
