Great news Sandra, it's lovely to hear when someone has a success! Well done, bet you're really pleased! Mandy x

Sandra, yes my hubby and I (separetely) frequented all those pubs in the 1980's left Crawley in 1991 to move to the NE and then 3 years ago here to Norfolk. I went to Hazelwick but as the schools liaison officer for Midland bank in the late 1980's went to both St Wilfrids and Ifield to set up school banks and give business and careers talks. What a small world! Penny

penny if you go to the gc members photospage website you might recognise me sandra

Sandra will have a peep. I'm on there too but I really doubt if anyone would recognise me as my 80's hairdo is long gone!!! I remember the brewary shades for a particularly memorable night when we all turned up for pre drinks in fancy dress (my sister was having a party) our two male friends at the time came as a nun and a vicar I was an opera singer and my best friend a saucy sailor and together we had just the best eve ever! Oh those were the days.... Penny

PEN JUST HAD A PEEK AT YOUR PHOTO SORRY DIDN'T RECOGNISE YOU. SEE IF YOU CAN FIND ONE FROM THE 80'S OR 90'S AND EMAIL ME SANDRA
