Carol Singing
I too rememeber Rev Milner and his wife also going carol singing down Knatts valley before the war. Does anyone remember Mr Rudd who looked after the greens at Woodlands golf course, a little short chap he was? Also any memories of Mr Booker who use to cut the grass etc in the valley and surrounds? I was back in the UK 6 years ago and found the graves of Milner and the Jupps, also some others I knew as a boy in the late 1930s - early 1940s. Regards to all in that time, Ron Meddick from Australia

RE: RE: Carol Singing
I remember Booker's Farm as the farm land backed onto the 7 acres of our land which was the camp. In fact Mr. Booker allowed my father to bring all the gear needed to make a hard tennis court up in our woods. It was impossible to bring machinery up through the camp itself as it was situated mainly on a very steep hill. Booker's farm was a stone's throw from Cotman's Ash and the Rising Sun a very ancient pub, which I believe is still there. I am going back to Woodlands for a very quick visit next month and shall find out! I hope the bluebells will be out in Lyle's Wood though of course the wood may have changed. Fortunately the area is in the Green Belt so there will not be any extra houses around.
