hippo girl 1,995 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I was a member of Notts Ac with Lorraine Soar.......think she went to Bilborough grammar along with Angela Littlewood who went to the Olympics ( shot put ) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 If it is the same family as Philip Soar, they lived on Bramhall Road which runs between Bilborough Road and Hanslope Crescent. I was at Bilborough Grammar School with him. Although he was in the year above me, we both attended the Railway Society on Thursday nights. I believe he is now a millionaire.

Dave 48 847 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Is this the same Phil Soar that was at one time chairman of Nottingham Forest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pashel 16 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 This soar family were mostly girls, no brothers, I don't think. There was a pamela and a marilyn, cant remember the others. I'm sure at least one of them went to John player school. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EileenH 496 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I remember a Chris Soar who would have been in the Henry Mellish lower sixth in 1959/60. I think he lived in the Bilborough area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
