Former members of a Streatham Common youth club are hoping to reunite almost 50 years after the group began.
The Immanuel Church Youth Club in 1960 provided a meeting place for teenagers from the Streatham, Tooting and Norbury areas.
Based at Immanuel Church at the bottom of Streatham Common, the group attended a range of events including weekend hikes, drama productions, tennis competitions, art classes, a football team and club evenings with guest speakers.
Les Hewitt, a member of the club, said: “Three of the group shown are now in touch - myself, Michael Brooks (wearing the white hat and waving) who runs a solicitors practice in Frimley, and Ray Willson (wearing a cowboy hat) is now a financial advisor in Auckland, New Zealand.
“Ray will be visiting the UK in early September this year and, along with Michael and myself, he would love to meet up with anybody in the photograph or anyone who was a member of the youth club at that time.”
