Comments: | Came accross this site by accident. I knew WCF was still going strong because an old school/wcf friend is still involved (I think) Ruth Connolly nee Becker. Brilliant website. I joined as an elfin in the early sixties and went on to become a pioneer and a venturer. My mum-Maisie-was quite involved taking subs etc and coming along to camps and trips. For me as a London girl it was brilliant and helped form my great love of the countryside (I now live in deepest Dorset and love it!) Unfortunatly when my daughters were growing up there were no local groups.
Does anyone remember Andrea Rogers, Jackie Ward, Gina Milne, Ruth and Jane Becker or Virgina and Anita Potts? There were plenty of others but it was a along time ago!!!! Love to hear from anyone.

Comments: | Thanks to Keith Skinner for the info on Margaret Jones from Wallasey. I remember her making us a very nice supper at Scunthorpe (Normanby Hall) Camp in 1967. I remember her Husband George was a nice chap but boy could he bellow when he wanted to.

Comments: | I am the mother of one of the newest members of the woodcraft folk in Acocks Green. I would just like to say that we went camping to earlswood and how much we enjoyed it, since joining the group my daughter has been so different, she's not as quiet anymore and gets on really well with everyone there.

Comments: | Great to find this website, and to see the Woodcraft Folk is still thriving.
I was a member in Alexandria, Scotland in the 60s and have many GREAT memories of our meetings, weekend hiking/hosteling, summer camps, etc..
I wish I now had the opportunity to thank our group's leaders (the McGougans, the Dorans and the Gallachers) for giving up so much of their own time and giving me some of the happiest times of my life.
The Woodcraft Folk is a truly great organization for kids and young adults.
Keep up the good work!
Alastair.

Comments: | I was in the Manchester Woodcraft Folk from around 1963. We had our meetings at Benchill School and then later at Hollyhedge Coop Hall. Our leaders were Mrs Caldwell, Doreen Miller and later on when I was in the Venturers, Frank Davenport. We were in the North West Kin with Wallasey and Warrington. I have a lot of happy memories of Woodcraft and I spent my 15th birthday at Lockerbrook. Ish Ash Ush
