Ah, the smell of fusty outdoors centres, the discomfort of camp beds, meals produced at a cost that would cause outrage at Barlinnie, the Friday night ghost story and the universally hated Sunday afternoon Treasure Hunt. But for those who went Glasgow (South) Houseparties were a magical part of their life.
The pics are from the 1980 Killearn Housepatrty. Ever etched in the memory by a combination of Tommy's photocopied (5p a page from the machine in Central Station) mock-up of the Glasgow Herald 'proving' that we were sleeping in a haunted classroom and Alistair Gilchrist's hidden & remotely controlled tape-recorder that issued blood curdling howls in the night.
The individuals on the beds are David MacDonald (Muck-D) and Eddie (Sweaty Betty) Anderson. Playing snooker is Robert (Gruntage) Grant & Andy Hunter.
