John, Gordon & Ray’s ‘Other Hobby’ (Film Link)

John

Ray

Dave

Walthamstow Guardian Newspaper Report – February 1974

This brief film showing John, Gordon and Ray and their ‘other hobby’ at the Walthamstow Sea Cadet Unit, is taken from the ‘DVD Birthday Present’ that John’s family had made from his ‘Home Movies’ – obviously yet another hobby!

The film also features MDC member Dave King (but a ‘Non Sea Cadet’) in the background of the sequence filmed at the Marsh Street Youth Centre.

The locations of the athletic meeting and the sailing activities shown in the film are thought to be, respectively, at the George White Sports Ground, Walthamstow and the Eagle Pond, Wanstead. The marching sequence is thought to be of a Remembrance Day Parade and the remaining footage at the Unit Headquarters at Marsh Street Youth Centre.

The extracts from John’s DVD have been taken with the kind agreement of Brenda and the Cade family
