David; Sid was getting on in years when he sent me those comments and that was back in 2004, so I don't know if we will hear from him again.

I am a little late on this one but I was waiting on permission to use the photo; Reg Wheeler memory lives on after the re-naming a Beach park in his honour, last August Reg's grandchildren were on hand to be the first to see the new sign.

I believe the yacht club was located where the Beach Rescue now stands and no relation to the RHYC. As for a building, makes me wonder if the old hall was just that, I have an old picture that a member sent in showing him sitting on a boat at the club and he would know. And others (Fred) from...

Not often that Mr. Wilson is wrong, but I am going with Peggy on this one.

I should of read this better or put a bit more thought into the answer, Bell Cairn School was never torn down and the corner stone is still there. I should of known that.

Good question and I would have no idea who would of taken possession of the memorabilia, going have to add that to the list of things to watch for as it would be Beach history.

This was sent in by David; Early History is Recalled One such event was attending a milestone divine service in the autumn of 1927. From our founding in 1925, Beach Lodge brethren attended divine service in goodly numbers. For nearly two years we held the services in the same church that had...
