Mr Rowsell is sitting on the coach looking through the window. The coaches were owned by Edwards of Lydbrook. Behind the second coach can be seen the roof of the Methodist Chapel. The Old Folks Committee used to have various events throughout the year to raise enough money for the outing and a voucher at Christmas"

Alison Watkins added (Sept 2009): "They still have harvest festivals and coffee mornings to raise money for the outings and christmas vouchers. Cliff Watkins used to do the auctioning but now his daughter Alison Watkins does it".

Thanks also to Dave Tyler (grandson of Jack Duggan).
