Was this the year we went to Crowle to perform at the medieval banquet? If so Ian Shaw was in the jag as one of the female characters. Bob Cleveland The Doctor?
Jill Miller has Evening Telegraph cutting, dated 12th January 1981, confirming visit to Crowle.
Christine & Terry Hood have B&W photo of Dick Skinner (Flash Hatman), Terry and Christine’s two children and Terry (The Lady), and the Horse (which they think could have been Paul Brown) taken at the Clock in Scunthorpe precinct. This was Terry's last year in the Jag.
Eamon Greene and Ian Shaw are sure that Ian was in three Jags, possibly in this year as female character. (If so and this was one, and 1982 {Joe Straw} was 2nd, when was third?) Mick Padden was also in this Jag but couldn't remember what part he played.
If Ian was in jag this year, possibly this was the year that Ian Shaw introduced “There is a Happy land” to the bus journey
“There is a happy land far far away
Where the little piggies run, three times a day
You can see them run run run.
With their fingers up their bums
When they see the farmer come three times a day.”
