Comments about this page

I was in Georgette Juveniles during the mid sixties. We used to go on a Saturday morning to the British Legion in Denham Road. Queenies son Kevin used to be one of the only boys in the troupe at the time. I remember being very shy when having to go on stage. Unfortunately I dont think my parents took any photos of me appearing....
