Ladies Football Match, Spencer Park 6.00pm."
Calor Flames ladies football team, wearing the same football kit that we wore for
Calor Gas Ltd in the Rushden & District
Sunday Football League,
a team run by Graham Penness.
From the left ..... not sure, Margaret Peck, the red-head half hidden is Ann Boswell (my wife), Vivienne Fox, ?, Pip Warner (daughter
of Bert, a Calor director), and Jane Wright.
One point, not sure what the girls are
wearing, as those items hanging on the
side of the pick-up were our red shorts !!
