Again, the year is unknown but it can be confirmed this was a Youth Fellowship Barn Dance at the old Parish Church Halls on Main Street. This looks more likely to be 1960’s or early 1970’s by the fashions. Do you recognise anybody here?

Brian Weaver That looks like David Dale on the right with the dark jacket.

Elizabeth Weaver That’s not Henry Hambley front right is it?

Elizabeth Weaver …and it does look like David Dale, Rev Geo Dale’s youngest, in dark jacket and glasses.

Henry Hambley I have to own up: I’m sitting front row on the right side. Beside me is Moira Todd (nee Abbot). Iain Neilson is second from the left in middle row. Beside him is Harry Mcdade (I think). On the back row extreme right is David Dale. So I think this must date it at 1972 at the latest. I used to keep a diary in these years but I think threw them out some ago thinking I would never need them. It’s clearly the old church hall upper floor.

Irene Dickman You’re correct Henry Hambley, it is Harry McDade on the left of the middle row,he’s my brother. Hope you Elizabeth and the family are well.
