A ticket for the first ever sailing club dinner and dance has been unearthed. Some of the older subscribers who can remember back then reckon 62 1/2 p was a lot to pay for a bun fight.

Annual Dinner and Dance

SHANKLIN TOWERS HOTEL
On Thursday, 10th December, 1931.

http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/historic-i ... calculator thinks that comes to a nice round £29.99 in today's money.

Perhaps when you were living 8 to a shoebox 12 and 6 was a lot of money.

sorry, that was mine, I did say that I couldn't go that year, but I never did get the refund.
One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small, and the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all. Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall.
