Hi Al,
Just
'dawned' on me that WIC is now 40 years, and SWS
45 years coming AUG.
The Thames photos by Don Davis were taken in celebration of forming the WIC the day before at the AGM of the UKWA in Baden Powell House on Cromwell Rd. Our cruise then, 1973, down the Thames from Putney at Westend, under all the bridges of London and the Tower Bridge being the final one, whereafter we turned to front the Thames' outflow and landed by 'The Traitor's Gate' of the Tower of London Castle to climb the sea-wall and wait for the tide to turn, while entertaining the *Beef-eater* guards and having a look around at the Castle. On our
way to the Castle's Entrance we had met
three lads having visited the PUB, and the middle
guy spread his arms to stop the too 'wingmen'
saying quite loud in benefit of the
sidewalk-audience: "By Golly boys if it's going to
be the kind of weather this gang has dressed fore,
we better start running home fast!" ....
Best regards, Ken t.o. |
