The Mayor, or Mayoress in this case, traditionally opens the Green in the Spring each year. In this case it looks as though the weather may have been bad, hence the official photo being taken in the Bar. Has anyone got any ideas as to the date and any of the faces?

David, Far right is Jack Ormesher. Next right is Tommy Sharoock and next right is Jack Fowler. Jimmy Bennett (talking to the Mayoress) would have been the President of the club for that year.
The Mayor was Ethel Naylor the First Lady of the old Wigan borough 1972 -1973 . My great grandmother or as we called her our other nana. I was also able to attend her wedding to her second husband in 1984 .
