ALL OUR OWN WORK
EASTER bonnets at Fyfield Parochial School, near Abingdon, in 1975 ranged from flower-decked creations to birds’ nests.
Pictured left to right are pupils Mark Hemmings, Matthew Hawkins, Linda Hodgkinson and Julie Stratford. Teacher Pamela Feast said: “We were amazed at some of the creations – every child put their hearts into this, with a minimum of parental help.”
HAPPY EATER
COLIN Bowden was the only boy to enter the Easter bonnet competition at an Easter Fair organised by the 1st Berinsfield Brownies in 1984, but that didn’t worry him – he walked off with the under-sevens class prize with this topper with a chick on top
THESE were the winners of the Easter bonnet competition at the Salvation Army citadel in Castle Street, Oxford, in 1968 – left to right, Miss L Busby (first), Mrs L Young (second) and Miss E Burden (third).
Walter Winstone makes sure his hat is correctly positioned before the Easter bonnet parade for retired car factory workers at Morris Motors Social Club in 1970.
His attention to detail paid off – he won the prize for the best entry by a man for the second year running with this splendid creation.
THE Easter bonnets at Brize Norton in 1969 were described by judges as big, bouncy and beautiful.
They were on parade at a dance in the Victory Hut organised by the Brize Norton Old Time Dancing Club. The prize-winning hats pictured belong to, back row, left to right, Mr R A Print, George Jones and Mr F W Faulkner, and front, Mrs E Moore, Christine Lynn and Florence
Coombes.
