In
this gallery we have photos dating back to the start of
the 1960's, when my mother and father were married at
St.Peter & Paul's Church - Dymchurch. Thus my family's
associations with The Day of Syn go back this far and
will be 50 years old in 2010. We remember the treasure
hunts of the 1960's when the whole village were involved
and preperations for the big day began early in the new
year. Traditions that the modern day Day
of Syn Society strive to keep alive. In 1998, I rode
into the village with the Night Rider's Biker's club and
performed on the sea wall outside 'The City of London'
- this was a magnificent and memorable occasion and caused
quite a stir I believe. Perhaps I will perform again at
the Day of Syn in 2010 ?? - WATCH
THIS SPACE! |

Meanwhile
- I have recently discovered a very special old photo.
It's of myself and my brothers and little sister as small
children, outside the old Dymchurch Primary on the Day
of Syn of 1970 I believe. The Vicar would have been the
Reverend Kenneth Sims - a fine old gentleman who shared
with me many secrets to do with Doctor Syn - some factual,
some fiction? I also remember him from my days in Dymchurch
Choir, when he also allowed me to partake of my first
brandy!! A mere sip I must hasten to add! My family are
also curious to know who the lady is with the Scarecrow
and also who the other 4 little children are? If anyone
knows, please feel free to contact us. Perhaps it's you??!!

IT. This photo is also extra special, because it's
taken with my very first camera, which I had just acquired.
Colour photography was, like colour television, a great
novelty at that time. Wow - the changes we've seen in
such a short time! |
