Additions to
‘MORE ECHOES OF THE PAST’
Following on from Arnold Hindley’s ‘Do you remember’ article, may I add the following:-
1. Mrs. Hindley who took the Guides - we used to meet sometimes at her house in Methuen Avenue. John Hindley, Arnold’s brother.
2. Miss Emmett , Dorothy Arkwright, Ken Porter (he ran the Youth Club).
3. John Carter whose wife was a lovely singer. He was such a gentle and kind man.
4. Putting plays on in the hall, under the leadership of Ken Porter.
5. Nat Atherton, Jimmy Preston and the badminton club. Both Nat and Jimmy were ‘masters’ of table tennis and badminton.
6. John Sutcliffe, Mary Mitchell, David Martin and myself encouraged to lead services with Dorothy Fielding at local churches.
7. The two ‘top rooms’ where a ‘gang’ of us used to gather on a Friday evening.
It was very nostalgic reading Arnold’s memories of Fulwood Methodist. Mine, too, were very happy ones and Fulwood Methodist ‘life’ had a great influence on me. I am a member now of Cleveleys Park church in Cleveleys, where Geoffrey Warburton came.

YET MORE ‘ECHOES OF THE PAST’
At the time, Ian Sumner (currently minister at Lytham’s Park Street Methodist church) was the first person from Fulwood to candidate for the Ministry in 50 years – encouraged by the late Rev. Ron Jobling.
George Nuttall – a late entry to the Ministry over 20 years ago (from Fulwood) – recently moved from Tottington, near Bury, to the Bristol area (Bristol North circuit to be exact).
