	Pic 9. Cheers for this one Paul. Ignore my e-mail asking you to send it again. This one is a bit small to recognise many faces, but suggestions always welcome. Is that Jimmy Edwards I spy in the spiv suit, front row. Paul has also sent us a poster which appears on the adverts page.
	Pic 10. Thanx for this photie go to Colin Hughes (Paul's brother). He also sent a long e-mail, some of which is published on the Panthers page, some on the Guestbook page, the rest is here.

At the front of the table we have Norman, then from the left, can't remember this lad's name, Vince Algieri, Little Ian, Jeff Dodd, John Ivor, Pat ????, Me (Colin Hughes).
	Pic 11. Yes I know that this picture is exactly the same as Pic 9, but Paul Hughes' wife has very kindly enlarged and enhanced it. People are now recognisable. Yes it was Jimmy Edwards in the front, but, for some reason, he seems to be wearing a wig. Paul says Rob, I have scanned this picture again and my wife has enhanced it to try and make it a bit clearer but it a very old photo!

BONANZA Time - Thanks to Garry Carr for the next 30 Pics Names to faces would be a big help. Most of these pictures were extremely small (2 x 2 inches) and extremely dark. I have enlarged them and turned up the brightness, but with some it still hasn't helped........better than no pictures though.
	Pic 12 Sorry, don't recognise a soul in this picture. If any of them are you or you know who they are, send an e-mail.
	Pic 13 I never used to hang out outside the ladies loos, so this one is a mystery also. Names to faces please. Dan suggests the name Linda Jones for girl on right ???
	Pic 14 I recognise these, no names but, I'm sure they are from Conwy, one on the right called Jackie ???? Sharron Lennon (Thomas) sent me an e-mail to let me know the girls are Eleanor Williams and Jacqueline Rowlands, and they are on separately 38 + 40. Cheers Sharon. Incidentally Sharon also tells the tale that there was rumour / gossip going around at the time that the guy who used to take these pictures (rumour has it, allegedly and all that) would take the heads of all the young ladies from Paynes and stick them onto other bodies (in revealing poses, if you get my drift). Well this seems a remarkable coincidence 'cos I was talking to Ruth (memory cell containing surname destroyed by alcohol) one evening last week when shopping in Tescos in the Junction and she said the very same thing. So it obviously goes without saying that if anyone comes across (and I mean that in the most innocent of ways) any of these dodgy photos we would be very pleased to publish them. (the author of this site and the contributors above are merely reporting the fact that a rumour was circulating and do not in any way corroborate or substantiate that the editing of photographs in the method described above actually took place)
	Pic 15 Not a clue as to who these lovely ladies might be. Marks out of ten and I'd give them both........
	Pic 16 John Whitely (originally from the Junction) with two lovely ladies on his arms. The one on the right was in my class in John Bright, I think it's Marcia Lazar, you remember the shop on Madoc Street. Don't recognise the lady on the left, will John (or anybody else) remember.
	Pic 17 Nia or Haf ??? they seem to be in a lot of photos. Names for the rest of the crew please ???? Dan suggests Steve McCartney for the Guy on the floor. I thought his name was Steve also. I think he lives in Rhos now ??
	Pic 18 Must be the same night as Pic 17. Nia or Haf is wearing the same clobber. Let the "no-names" be given names - e-mail us
	Pic 19 Who are these sultry beauties ???
	Pic 20 Snowy plus two mates.
	Pic 21 Not a bleedin' clue
	Pic 22 Subtitled "When you're young and in love" - wonder if they still are. Answers on a postcard to......

	Pic 24 "Spring in the air"
	Pic 25 Two more babes who at this moment in time shall remain nameless, unless you can help !!!
	Pic 26 Guy on the right might be Peter Marshall from the Junction, no idea who the rest are. E-mail from Howly: left to right - Howly, Tony Hird, Graham Land, Alan Mackay, Pete Marshall cheers Howly...
	Pic 27 Guy on the right is Richard Jones, went to the same primary school. Guy on left is John Parry (maybe??) Nonames for the other three. e-mail from Sid & Caroline Eccles : From the left - Gary James, dunno, Bev Rogers, Richard Jones and at the front David Lester
	Pic 28 "Put your loving arms around me".
	Pic 29 Recognise the lady on the left, but can't put a name to the face. Help !!! Dan suggests the names Jean Lancaster and Jean Grundy for the ladies in this picture.
	Pic 30 Should remember the guy's name, you know, from Llandudno. Who are the girls ??? The guy is Robert Hawkins ( had a nickname something like Hawkeye). Dan suggests that the ladies are --- Sue Lancaster and Pearl Hobson----not too sure about these IDs, can anybody else confirm.
	Pic 31 Billy no mates ??
	Pic 32 Big crew - no names
	Pic 33 Nice but anonymous. Dan suggests that the babe on the left is Kate Rowlands (from Pen and currently out in Afghanistan, been on the news etc.) I think you are correct here Dan, I know she is called Kate now, but didn't she used to be known as Dinah ???
	Pic 34 Just how much trouble was it to get the hair like that.
	Pic 35 This has got to the best picture so far. John Ivor showing us how he got his nickname. Who is that band ??? Just look at Ed's high tech equipment !!! Who did the sign writing for him ???
	Pic 36 Norman, Carol, Nia, Haf, Linda ???
	Pic 37 It's that one from Conwy again.

	Pic 70 Apologies for taking so long to get this photo onto the page. Sent in by Paul Valencia from Bangor. That's Paul on the left, Joe Brett in the middle and Dave Price on the right. Picture was taken in the photo booth outside Woolies across the road from Paynes. Not very clear in the photo but you can just make out that at the bottom of the picture Paul is holding a copy of James Brown's There Was A Time (on the Polydor label if I remember rightly). Met Paul at the recent reunion i the grand (March 2003) - names to more faces Pic 12 Hazel Miles from Bangor, Pic 19 Ann - Girl on right of photo If any of Paul's old friends (and we mean old in the nicest possible way) would like to contact him try 01248 853842
	Pic 71. This is a picture taken on the occasion of John Ivor's 21st birthday - and I can't tell you the amount of hassle we've had trying to get this up on the page. Thanks to John for his persistence, finally got a copy for me and passed it on at the Junction Soul do last Saturday. I promise to get this back to you ASAP. Talking to John you realise that for some people Paynes was more than just somewhere to go on a Saturday night, it was the beginning of a love affair with soul music that is still with them now. John travelled back to Llandudno for the Paynes reunions from Germany, Ireland and lord known where else. Good to see him back on a "permanent" basis. "Timi Yuro - It'll never be over for Me You" KTF
