..........and
here is something extra!!!
June 1985
Tanya
won!!!
We were part of a large group
that followed the football on a very regular basis - every year,
every week!!!
And naturally we had to have a Tipping Competition!!!
Tanya also put in
her 'Dollar a Week' - and picked her own selections
During June 1985 she won the prize pool - which was $38.00!!!
At that time, "Cabbage Patch Dolls" were all the young girls wanted and
Tanya used her winnings to buy her own
(in the following photos, Tanya
is holding one of these dolls which belonged to next-door-neighbour
Louise)
"Sneaky", who was
running the Tipping Competition, gets ready to say a few words
and make the presentation to Tanya - and from the left, watching
are Annette, Dale and Sharon, with Louise and Tennielle (baby)
on the floor
Tanya and "Sneaky",
who looks a little bit lost for words!!!
..........a really nice photo of Tanya, and her long blonde hair
"I Won!!!" screams
Tanya!!! - watched by Annette, Dale, Geoff (having a smoke in
the back), and Sharon
