Dave 48 847 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Hi richonmc1 yes Alan is fine thanks. He is now in his eighties but looks really good. We went for a lovely meal at The Bridge Inn at Gamston. The other guys on the day were Oliver Allen , Dave Holland and Steve Smith don't know if you recall any of those names.

annswabey 599 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Dave I heard all about your meet-up from Alan! So pleased to hear that Ollie was there - he was a friend of my Dad's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 48 847 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Hi Ann I got there early....in fact I was first there and when Ollie walked in I recognised him straight away bearing in mind not seen him for over 40 years. We had a lovely meal and Ollie gave me a lift home which was very kind of him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wolf Peter Hein 0 Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Hi there, I have been quite often in Nottingham at Elastic Yarns (35 to 40 years ago) and I remeber Bill Metcalf, Jonny Howard and a sales man named Peter South. Does anybody know if Bill Metcalf is still alive? Â Regards Wolf Peter Hein Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 48 847 Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Hi Wolfe Peter Hein, I worked at Elastic Yarns late sixties/ early seventies ( see previous posts)  Sorry to inform you that Bill Metcalf passed away earlier this year in a nursing home in Nottingham. For the last couple of years I have been meeting up with Alan Rose and a few others  twice a year for a meal and Alan is often in touch by e-mail.  Regards Dave Callard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
