A picture of the Whiting Bay Music and Drama Club that was published in The Banner on April 16 asked readers if they could identify the year in which the photo was taken and, after a large amount of responses, we can now identify all of the members who are pictured but the exact year that it was taken remains a mystery.
Prompting a visit following the letter from Tommy Robison in an earlier edition of the The Banner, some individuals were identified but Archie Nicol, who has lived in Whiting Bay for 80 years, came into The Banner office and named every single person in the picture.
Archie was a member of the Whiting Bay Music and Drama Club and his son, Allan Nicol, is still very much involved with the group who celebrate their 70th birthday next year. ‘I could not give you an exact date that the picture was taken but it might be the cast of See How They Run so my guess would be that it was taken in the early to mid 50s,’ said Archie.
