Gosh Gayle, didn't know your mum did that ... will take a look at the ones still remaining.

Of course I know that she is a very clever lady with her designs .. as proof of our posters and programmes she does for Ossyplayers (and wins prizes for them).

Was telling a friend about this and she commented that she thought The Heys sign had used a local character named Ben (....?) as a model. We knew whose father he was, but didn't know the daughter's maiden name. Is this correct ?
