Family Photographs: Page Eleven: All About Me

This is me, Mike Barnes, pictures from my childhood, school days, the Merton Air Rifle and Pistol Club - 1982 to 1986 (and still running to this day), martial arts (Tomki Aikido) from 1986 to 1991 (to Brown Belt standard) and memorabilia from my career in Information Technology and into the retirement years. I have tried to arrange the photographs in date order, but for many of them in the 1960's I am guessing as to when they were taken and in a lot of cases where they were taken. Click on the thumbnail images for a bigger picture or more information.

These photographs date from the early 1960's and I think were taken around between 1960 and 1963.

I'm not happy about something! I think these two photographs were taken in Bognor Regis.
Donkey Rides on a sandy beach - location unknown. Victoria Station saying goodbye to George Heath and his family - they are emigrating to Australia.
We spent some time in London - Trafalgar Square feeding the pigeons.
   
Mum being mobbed by pigeons in Trafalgar Square. I think I remember the coat Mum was wearing as being red in colour. This could be 1965.     My birthday party, taken at 35 Barringer Square, Tooting sometime in the 1960's, maybe when I was nine or ten, 1964 or 1965. In the first photograph I am on the extreme right and next to me is my best friend Martin Castle. The girl in the foreground is Josephine Bailey. In the right hand photo, the lad in the centre with the dark top is Derek Harris. I recognise other faces but unfortunately not their names.
