Around 1969 me and my old pal Pat Mc Ateer set up the first non
sectarian boys club in Airdrie, as we used the old airdrionians black hut
for our meetings we called it gartlea boys club. 
we had some great kids come thro our ranks, later that year we went to
belguim with 20 kids for 2 weeks what a time was had,We stayed in a youth
hostel in Blankenberg with lots of other nationalities and as you can
imigine the boys from Airdrie were out to impress, and impress they did. A
football tournament was set up and you have guest right we won.What fond
memories any of you boys still out there?

I was born in Harthill and attended Airdrie Academy from 1947-1950 but
have lived in Canada since 1957. Just learned that Woolies is no more.
Used to be the place to chat up the lassies who worked there. Too bad it's
gone but can it be called progress? Many thanks for the web-site. Best
wishes!
