THESE smartly-dressed young men and women were enjoying their annual dinner.

Garsington Sports Club included the village football and cricket teams and organised the yearly get-together in the village hall.

The picture comes from a collection belonging to former villager Dave Clinkard, who now lives at Deddington.

The village teams enjoyed success on and off the field. In his annual report in 1957, the president, John Wheeler-Bennett (later Sir John), described the club as “sound in wind and limb”.

Those in the picture are, left to right, Sam Gidney, Dave Clinkard, John Clinkard, Robert Clinkard, Keith Parsler, Elizabeth Hawkins, John Hickman and David Ruffles.
