 The wedding photograph of Neil and Margaret Garbutt, married 16th January 1965. The newspaper commentary read: “Happy newly weds, Mr. Neil Garbutt of Brotton, and his bride, Miss Margaret Hicks, of Loftus, after the ceremony at St. Leonard’s Church, Loftus, on Saturday.” Michael Garbutt commented: “This is my Mam and Dad, who recently celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary. They ran the Youth Club for many years, both at the old location at the Odd Fellows Hall, and during its move to its present location at Duncan Place.

We are unsure of the reasons and welcome assistance.  Another wedding in Loftus, in October 1967, when Raymond Fishlock married Myrtle Walker. Image courtesy of Loftus Youth Club.
Again on the playing field at East Loftus, believed to be in the 1930s. Eric Trembath tells us: ”The two lads sat on the right of the see-saw the first is ?? Morrison the second right is my dad Maurice Trembath.” Jan Wilson adds: “The girl seated second left looks like Joyce Stamford.” Can anybody else help with names or a date.

Richardson (Loftus Urban Council) presents Eric Jones with this sporting activities award. Looking on are Mr George Hebditch (Club Chairman) and Mr Chris Harrison (Club Leader).

A wonderful array of costumes, but we need help with names, date and the occasion. Janis Bonner has advised: “4th in, on the back row, is my mother Margaret Tilley ( nee Pearson) dressed as a gypsy girl. She will have been about 15/16 years old which dates the photograph circa 1946/47. She has a copy of this somewhere. I’ll ask her if she remembers the names of the others.” Janis Bonner can now assist again: “My Mother Margaret recognised some of her fellow fancy dressers! Back row: Dennis Codling, Margery Lofthouse, Eileen May, Margaret Pearson, Lorna Chipchase ,Peggy Garner, Mr. Tart (Youth Leader) Image courtesy of Loftus Youth Club, thanks to Janis Bonner (and her mother Margaret Tilley) for the updates.  A pair of sportsman relaxing during a Youth Club event. Can you name them? Image courtesy of Loftus Youth Club.  This we believe is an image from the Drama Festival of 1948, unless you know better?
