SIR – What a football team, pictured above. We all worked at Kays warehouse in Droitwich and formed this team for carnival week in 1963.
I can remember playing a team of men who were dressed up as ladies. Our carnival took place on a field which is now the car park for Morrisons and the precinct.
Pictured are: Maisie Hartles (goalkeeper), Mary Turner, Anne Halsall (nee Clarke), Jenny Phillips (nee Hinton), Eunice Williams (nee Bradford), Maureen Pugh, Beattie Davis, Gwen Giles, Cath Hales (nee Gandy) Barbara Higgs (nee Gandy) and Vera (I’m sorry I can’t remember her surname).
We had a lot of fun during carnival week but I don’t think we ever played again.
