Hey up Barry

Do you know what I've not seen Tombo,Chet or Sparky for yonks and yonks. Shall ask about when am out and about but have heard nothing for years.

I remember meeting them up at Stafford Arms in Bagnall after Saturday nights at the Place with Jeff Ramsden and Al Barnett.

Mickey Hodge---can't picture him. Name sounds familiar was he a mate of Johnny Morris's from Biddulph or ......... :D

I would love it to be Barmy Barry , Barry ( hey ! there is an echo in here ! ) ........ but it is not him I am afraid .

I have attempted to seek him out , and invite him as a guest , but to no joy : does anyone know if he still reside in the SOT area ? He must be in his mid - 60s these days ........
