EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print is a poignant moment of camaraderie and determination, as team manager Ray Fear imparts his last words of advice to the Stoke on Trent cross channel swimming team. It was August 9th, 1967, at Trentham Lido swimming pool, where this dedicated group gathered for their final training session before embarking on their monumental challenge. The image showcases the unwavering spirit and unity that defined these athletes. From left to right, we see Jane Bennett, Kathleen Hewitt, Malcolm Webb, Pat Booth, Jane Fear (possibly related to Ray Fear), Leslie Derbyshire, and Linda Hayes. Each face reflects a mix of excitement and nerves as they prepare themselves mentally and physically for what lies ahead. This photograph holds a special place in history as it captures not only the individuals who made up the team but also an era when such feats were celebrated with great enthusiasm. Their departure from Stoke on Trent just days after this snapshot marked the beginning of an arduous journey towards conquering the English Channel. As we delve into this nostalgic scene from TWWW Potters Holiday magazine's archives - page 50 - we are reminded of the power of teamwork and perseverance in pursuit of extraordinary goals. Let us cherish this glimpse into a bygone era when dreams were pursued with unyielding passion.
