Double Celebrations
Two of Conisbrough’s oldest residents enjoyed double celebrations on Thursday, when their birthdays coincided with the weekly meeting of Conisbrough Over 60s Club.
Mr Edley Thomas (82), of Athelstone road, is well known in the district and has been a club member for eight years.
He came to Denaby from North Staffs when still young and for 42 years he worked at Denaby Collieries.

Another member, Mrs Russell of Windmill Ave, Conisbrough celebrated her 80th birthday on Thursday
