Oral history recordings of courtship memories
Remembering dances, dates, romances and weddings
By John Cheves
In the summer of 2007, WRVS Heritage Plus ran a series of workshops around the theme of courtship with a group in Eastbourne. The group met once a week to talk about their childhood and teenage years and memories of going out and dating. They also talked about how they met their husbands and wives and remembered their wedding days and early married lives.
The members of the group were George and Pearl, Allan and Betty, Marjorie, Sylvia, Evelyn, Barbara, Pat and Meg and the workshops were run by Jane Turner. The recordings here all come from those sessions.
