What memories do you or family have of the Leadgate Salvation Army over the years?
Do you have any pictures to share?
I have got to know the current volunteers through the Nice Bites meal project which is run most Tuesday’s during term time providing a sit in or take away 3 course meal at a very reasonable price
Also recent rennovations have been completed
Leadgate Salvation Army will be 100 years old in June 2024. Watch out for details of their celebrations as they finalised
Must be early 50’s I think. That’s me, John Ashcroft on trombone. Lance Pickering, seated, was band leader. Other names; Les Pickering, Ken James, Arthur Smith. Denis Greener, Cyril Ashcroft, Joe Day, Freddie Barker, Bert Pickering. Maybe someone can complete the set, as it were!! Thank you for sharing this photo. Have very fond memories of Leadgate Salvation Army and the sound, deep Christian influence of so many people during my time there. John Ashcroft, Hadleigh, Essex
If you do have any pictures they will be added to this “album” (20+) Facebook
