HI
I stopped being a JW in 1989. I live in Blackpool but used to attend meetings in Bury. I remember very well conventions at Maine Road and assemblies at Northenden. There's loads of us out there especially in the Bury area. If any one wants to meet up just let me know
Hey, someone else from 'round 'ere !
I used to go to Northenden (remember that funky circle & square pattern behind the stage?) and also Maine Road (rah) and Everton (boo). In fact, I met my wife at Maine Road assembly (see what dangers they can be, lol).
Ok, here's what we'll do ... stick drawing pins in a map and see where the middle is then find the nearest pub to it with a beer garden and meet up one weekend. How about it folks?! First drink's on me (as long as not too many show up !)
Simon - as long as beer is involved you can count me in!
That funky circle and square pattern - that brings back memories. Sunday afternoon sat upstairs at Northenden, 38 degrees, no air conditioning, counting the grooves in the arch that went across the ceiling just to keep awake.
I was in Manchester too - Stretford cong. I was a special pio in Clydebank. That was many years ago. Now a Methodist minister in Cardiff.
