The Kintyre Forum

I have started work on a Down Memory Lane feature for the site which I think will prove very popular (and give us all a good laugh).

It can be found at http://www.visitkintyre.info/dml

For now however, the only one which is working (and especially for you Bubbly) is sports and football.

I have lots of photos to add but if anyone can send any to me please do so.

Any thoughts anyone?

Started the process of this now and the following are now working

All of the sub headings under Campbeltown

And Cadets and Pipe Band under Groups

Football under sports

Check the photo at the Mill Dam out ! BrillianT!

Oh and forgot one school one:-

Anyone see me?

Of course, David you haven't changed a bit. This will raise a few laughs. If Kerri gives you photos please do not except.

Poor Cat he has knitted jumpers on every photo that you have on him!!!!! Bet he will get stick for that.

Great school photo. i was in the other primary one class! can any one name the people in the photo. i got some of them but not all and it is driving me mad trying to figure out who they are

Shirley - do you have yours then? So I can add it?

Does anyone else have any? I have a cracker from Craig Anderson showing his P6 class in it and I will post this later...



With regards the photo - I'm like you and can't name them all but so far I have

Back row - Sharon Hill, Graeme Graham, Stewart McMillan, ?, ?, Linda McGeachy, Julia ?, Katrina Robertson, Mrs Allan (great teacher!)

Middle Row - Lillian Sharp, Robert McKellar , Bobby Mathieson, Walter Crichton, ?, Duncan Armour, ?, June Hannah, Fiona Brown

Front Row - Angus Brodie , John Gallagher, ?, Sandra McGuire, ?, Karen O'May, Karen Anderson, Alistair Mason, David Paterson and Calum Kirk

davie, can fill you in on some of the names i think. the first girl in the middle row is that not lillian sharp the boy you say is Duncan Brown is his surname not armour. the blode at the end is Fiona Brown. Fiona says that one of the boys in the front row was a RAF kid. not sure if mum still has any photos but i will ask.

Oops - you are right! Haven't seen Fiona in years tho I meet her Dad from time to time. And yes it was Armour too

Was a few RAF Kids in our class - I am sure one of the girls at the back is Lynn someone and Julia someone too - can you remember? Karen Anderson will know!

In addition I have added some new photos at

http://www.visitkintyre.info/dml/sport/volleyball/

http://www.visitkintyre.info/dml/sport/netball

http://www.visitkintyre.info/dml/sport/football

Got some more to add but don't know if I can be bothered now!

Anyway, enjoy. I may get killed with those Netball and Volleyball ones!

David

Yeh Duncan's surname was Armour. Also 3rd in from left on top row, is that not Stewart Graham??

If I find out any others I will let you know!!

Aye - sorry I meant that..

Anyway, were you not the P1 bully?

Aye right - do you think anybody who wore a tank top like that could be taken seriously as the P1 bully.

I have add some more old photos on to the DML site

http://www.visitkintyre.info/dml/campbe ... owncentre/

Great pictures, Davie! As you know, I'm a history-junkie, especially local history.

Cheers

Aye Gary, the sewerage system was broken that day the top picture was taken.
Was up your neck of the woods yesterday, the Carra was in full tilt, also the sea was reminiscent of the Devil's Dance Floor in the Baltic.

Hi,

Yes it did look a bit wild. I wouldn't have fancied being out in that lot.

Cheers
