 In 1977 we did a 6 X nights a week Summer Season at: The Warden Bay Holiday Camp at Leysdown on the Isle of Sheppy.

We left our gear set up & Suits & Shoes in the stock/ barrel room behind the bar.

The Club had a German Shepard guard dog which managed to get hold the the Drummer’s Shoes & chew one of them up! We used to sing to him in four part harmony: ‘Pardon me Bob, is that the Dog that chewed your group Shoes?’

 John Lawrence
