I worked at The Castaways 1971 and met my first husband when he came to reception to renew an insurance policy John Reed had taken out. We originally wore black hot pants with a white top then went on to wearing Hawaiian girls outfits. A tie round top and a wraparound mini skirt held together by Velcro. I worked on the top floor, reception and the first floor which was the disco area. I also sat halfway up the stairs to greet customers, it was here that the owner made a proposition which I declined, he was about 30 years older than me. Early in the evening they used to send us in to city centre in our 'outfits' to hand out flyers encouraging people to come in later. Mom would've gone mad. if she'd seen me. Still have my membership card and lots of happy memories. Cally, what was your Mom's name and would she have been there in 1971? There was a lovely lady who ran the place then! Anne
