Hello Dave
I've only just discovered your site . . . I'm really quite excited.
My name is Clive (Lew) Lewis GOB 1958-1964. I would love to establish
contact with anyone who knows me. When I was in the house I resided in
Cairns before moving to 'The Verney' and then into 'digs'.
James (Jimmy) Medland used to occupy the bed next to me at one stage.
Love to speak to Jimmy!

MY RECENT VISIT TO DYMCHURCH PARTLY UNRAVELLED THE MYSTERY ABOUT THE CAFE "ON STILTS" AS TOLD TO ME BY PETER DRUMMOND AS I PERSONALLY DO NOT RE-CALL,BUT THERE AGAIN DRUMMOND WAS ONLY IN THE CAFE TO FIDDLE THE MACHINE UNLIKE THE REST OF US "HONEST AND TRUTHFUL"!LADS, IT APPEARS THAT THERE WAS A WOODEN BRIDGE THAT SPANNED THE EXIT FROM THE CAMP TO THE BEACH(As explained to me by the train driver of the miniature railway,who was there at the same time and before the second world war)ON TOP OF THIS WOODEN BRIDGE WAS THE CAFE AND WAS CALLED "THE DECK CAFE" THE CAMP IT'SELF IS NOW OCCUPIED BY A HOUSING ESTATE,AND THEY LOOK LIKE THEY MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT IN THE SIXTIES (That is only guess work on my behalf)THE CAMP BEFORE THE WAR WAS NAMED
"THE DUKE OF YORK BOYS CAMP" AS EXPLAINED BY THE TRAIN DRIVER.THE SEWER PIPE IS STILL OCCUPING THE BEACH AND OUT TO THE SEA,BUT NOW HAS A HANDRAIL TO STOP YOU FALLING "OFF" IF YOU STILL FANCY "RUNNING" ALONG IT,OR PERHAPS THESE DAYS "WALKING"
DUNGENESS POWER STATION CAN BE SEEN FROM THE BEACH (This we witnessed in 1962 being towed to the site as explained by "SKIP" to us)
PHOTO'S OF MY RECENT VISIT WILL BE DISPLAYED ON THE SITE SHORTLY.
DAVE...SEE YOU ALL SOON

I'D JUST LIKE TO RE-LATE THIS STORY THAT TOMMY HILL TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE YESTERDAY.
A FEW YEARS BACK,PETE DRUMMOND CONTACTED TOMMY HILL UP THERE IN TYNE AND WEAR. TOMMY SAID "POP UP AND WE CAN HAVE A GET TOGETHER. SO PETE NOT ONE TO MISS A FREE DRINK, JUMPED ON THE TRAIN UP TO TYNE AND WEAR. HE ARRIVED AT HIS HOUSE, BUT HIS WIFE SAID "HE'S DOWN THE ROAD THERE ON THE RIVER DOING A BIT OF FISHING, IT'S HIS NEW PASTIME NOW".
SO PETE HURRIED DOWN TO THE RIVER TO FIND TOMMY ON THE SIDE CRYING. "WHATS THE MATTER TOM" TOMMY REPLIED "I'VE LOST ME MATE IN THE RIVER" YOU KNOW OLD DRUMMOND NOT ONE TO FLINCH A CHALLENGE PROMPTLY DIVED IN TO LOOK FOR HIM. FRANTICLY HE SWAM UP AND DOWN THE RIVER LOOKING FOR HIS MATE, CAUSE HE'D WON HIS LIFE SAVING BADGE AT GOLDINGS DIDN'T YOU KNOW? TWO HOURS LATER HE GAVE UP, TOTALLY EXHAUSTED.
HE CLAMBERED UP THE BANK TO TOMMY "WELL TOM I CAN'T FIND YOUR MATE, WHERE WAS HE WHEN HE FELL IN" TOMMY SOMEWHAT BEMUSED REPLIED "IT JUST FELL OF ME BREAD.
THE MORAL OF THIS STORY "DON'T OFFER FREE DRINKS TO DRUMMOND OR HIS MATE"
COS HE CAN NEVER BE FOUND
