The only other club still open in Ossy is the Stanhill club, although St. Marys church have a social club on Lock Street, near the Town Hall and there is Church cricket club as well

Thanks for that. Bernard and I go back a long way...I knew him when his sister Esther and her husband Jim had the Old Mother Redcap, Bernard and Ivy then had the Crescent in Blackburn.....You will probably know Raymon Hacking who did the stocktaking at the Con? Raymon and I used to be at Thwaites in the middle seventies.
