ROY Hartle, of Catshill, achieved one of his footballing ambitions when he helped his team, Bolton Wanderers, win the FA Cup at Wembley. Bromsgrove Rovers, from which he joined the Lancashire club, were mentioned in the Wembley programme. Good wishes were sent by telegram from Catshill Modern School, where Roy started his career.
AN unusual incident happened when Bromsgrove MP James Dance was returning from the Cavalry Old Comrades' Memorial Service, in Hyde Park. He stopped to listen to one of the communist speakers, at an event associated with the May Day parade. Mr Dance said he heckled a speaker who had been boasting. Following a heckling match, he was challenged to come onto his platform, which to the amazement of the speaker, he did, addressing those gathered for 15 minutes. Mr Dance added that he made it clear he was a Tory MP.
