Friern Barnet Photo Archive

I'm in that photo as a Cub along with others from Garfield School, that's the Social Hall in Grove Road where we use to meet. Our scarfs were Maroon and Green. Used to do 'bob a job week'. Worst one I had was to weed some old ladies large garden for a bob, but I did get tea and cake also. Somewhere there is a super 8mm film of our football team with the Cub Final Shield (which was huge) after we had drawn 4-4 (aet ?) with a Wood Green Cub team. Both cub packs kept the Shield for 6 months.

I was the Senior Scout Master until 1964 when I moved to Harlow. I am 6th from right second row from front.

I recognise a few faces here.I'm 2nd from left 4th row

I was a founding member of the 92nd when it was formed in c. 1955 when I was 12 and went to Sunday School at the church. There were only a small number of us then and I started as a 2nd in the Kestrels. I think we were led by Mr Sammons (?or similar name) and also, later, Mr Druce. Loved the Summer camps. Went to Dartmoor, Ilkley Moor, Loch Lomond and Salzburg, Austria. Good memories. I have some photos of us in Dartmoor so will try to dig them out and post.

Anyone know if a hard copy of the photo is available or a high resolution digital file so that I can produce my own copy? TIA
