she scared the life outa me!!!! but I liked her and she was a really good mate of Helens so she used to come back to wakefield with us on sundays sometime...I had a photo of her somewhere in my collection but I have lost things over the years her and paul were a real team they looked older than us at the time but they look so young now!! the lad in the photo is Brissy he was from Blackburn he hung around with another really good friend Ann-marie from Blackburn.. he looks a happy chappie on the photo??

when i said naff i meant all the women looked like extras out of dallas!! big hair and all that!! i'm not in pics but i recognise a few faces like i said. i was a rim to a lass from bolton but she had a boyfriend( later her hubby) so can't say too much cos i know him!! and that's too much info.that sounds bad but nothing happened,honest.do you remember fran(wier) and shirley from stockport? and gaynor from wigan i think. i once pulled her of the dance floor as she was knocked out by piece of plaster that fell off the roof. happy days eh!

Well I nevre had the big hair just long! A RIM was a really immaculate male and a rif a really immaculate female so it was a good thing... I have written before about Fran + shirl top spinners it is a wonder that the did not with the speed they spun, screw themselves into the floor they were amazing to watch.... yes well about the RIm thing all was very innocent in them days so no harm done.. I was voted sexiest girl in the Casino in 1980 by some (very flattering!!) they should have tried to rebuild (re create) wigan then I think most of it was falling down things were always falling off I was in Ms toilets once and the hand dryer fell off!! but yes they were happy days (well nights!!! )

i sort of had a thing with fran, and with shirly. fran has been to my house a couple of times! got an old wigan cd years ago and she was on the cover in full flight! she was a cracking dancer.haven't seen her for yonks,does she go anywhere now.i know she wanted to be a nurse at one point, but when i knew her she worked in wh smith in stockport.by the way who is sarah, or was it mistaken identity about you?

I think it was mistaken identity the sarah thing I worked it out as Helen was my best mate at wigan and I did not remember a sarah and I would have done!! and Koffi remembered the long hair and tiny thing and believe you me there was only one of me!!! after Wigan closed I kept in touch with helen for a while but the distance made it hard and I had to concentrate on work then to get the pennies in!! and weekends was my busiest time so I kind of got out of the circuit but never out of the music!!!! I still love to dance and I will dance merrily round he room to the tunes of the casino days ( is that just me?? ) and I always feel better after... and do you know what, I don't care what anyone thinks!!! jackie forest show me how to love and I am away..

Oh well we may find a sarah yet but never mind we can still catch up on some gossip from the past.. how long did you go the Casino?? I did from late 78 to 81 I was only very young 15 when I started going I was still in school ( I don't know how I made it Monday mornings ) I suppose it is probably easier to remember me for most people I was very small and probably stood out for that reason.. helen and I had alot of mates and mixed with everyone... and my name never changed they just added little at the beginning!!! I think most of the lads we knew were very protective of us ( it was great ) but I wish I could place more names Doug from Bradford?? being one maybe??

Hi there-just posted in the new members bit but I think I am the other Caroline! I am not the thin pretty one with long hair but the other with short dark curly hair (at the time of course). It is still dark but with aid of chemicals! I would love to hear from Julie Sharp, Christine Curley and Angie Coffey xx
