I was evacuated to WGC in 1944. I was pleased to see reference to Mac’s Club for boys which I joined.
What disappointed me as far as the site is concerned is that there is no idea to which years these reminiscences refer.
I now live near Chelmsford but would be happy to share my memories. How would I do so?
Dear Mr Barlett
Many thanks for your comments which I have passed on to the volunteer editors of the site.
