[beehive boy 10]

it was certainly a good night, Albert Parr would be amazed how everyone remembered him, did he have any family i wonder ? I know that might sound strange looking at him but he wasent allways old ! Does anyone know about him when he was younger ?

Hi all, I was gob smacked when I saw how many turned up last night, the room was full. I will personally thank John Martin, I think he enjoyed it as much as anyone, and it was good to see some new faces, great night.

Well did you all enjoy last night at the Ball Inn, certainly had a good chit chat, a few beers and sarneys.

Here are just some photos that my wife Joan took of you all having a good evening.

Hi Nettie

It was the best one yet a couple of people you missed off the list Brian Curl and Keith Cordon.

Hindy left early he was gripping his pint that tightly he got cramp in his hand and dare not have another I can't think why?

It was great when John Martin brought that picture of Albert Parr in anybody who lived in the area then knew him if you did not know who he was, you were not from Grimesthorpe.

Ah nice one Faith.

She hasn't changed a bit and also instantly recognisable was "bantam buddy" - he looks exactly like his dad! Wish I'd been there now - trouble is I was finding it hard to recognise anyone else except you and John H.

Hi ED59 I love the photo's, what a great evening. When's the next one? Can't wait. I agree with previous post, the highlight of the evening was the loud cheer, followed by clapping. [ Was it royalty? was it a famous boxer? was it a famous actor? ] No, it was a photo of our HERO in his Athletic racing gear, ALBERT PARR. See You Soon.

Any chance of someone scanning the photo of Albert Parr and putting it on here? I would love to see it.

It certainly looks like I missed a great night out. I can't believe how little Mick Buck has changed, apart from the grey hair, he looks the same and so does his wife Linda.

 

I would also like to see the photo of Albert Parr, so if it can be put on here, please do.
