This is a good print of the Loftus Sword Dancers. Initially the Archive was unsure of the location or occasion for this photograph, we were told by Ron Gittins that this could possibly be Darlington. Peter Whiteley has assisted with: “I was a member of Loftus Sword Dancers along with Ron Gittins, Rod Collinson, Ron Shaw, Keith Pierson and Stuart Carter we were photographed in the Northern Echo; March 9th 1959 winning a sword dancing shield at Darlington Music Festival.”
Back Row: Harry Cuthbert, John Hill , Brian Snowdon , William Morrish, Arthur Marshall. Front Row: Derek Cuthbert , ?? , Ron Gittins, Jim Fishlock.
