Boyhood Cycling Rides

This reminds me that there used to be a little tin chapel at the top of the lane which lead down to Sharps Green, I vaguely remember going to a Christmas party there once. Like Eric Billingham I too am in my eighties and unless I am mistaken we were at school together (Gillingham Grammar 1942-49).

G'day H.A. Chesney. My memory steers me towards 'Harold' and ;Ches', but I must admit to being rather vague about this. I would be pleased to hear more from you as I have long since lost contact with the old school and pals. I left the school in 1949 from Form 5G, and started work in the Northern Assurance Co.in Chatham, then volunteered for regular service in the RAF. After many years doing a lot of different things, I ended up in Melbourne where I met and married my wife Ruth, not that we were married before we met of course. I am trying to reconstruct a lot of aspects of my life before I joined the RAF and would love to make contact with an old pal by the name of Bill Forrest. I know that Bill joined what was called in those days, the Fleet Air Arm, but there he vanishes. Any other memories you care to share would be welcomed. I don't know whether the exchange of email addresses is approved by the website, but I will offer mine anyway. voice_master@aapt.net.au. Looking forward to hearing more form you, regards, Eric.
