A regular visitor to our meetings is Alan
Proctor. Alan was born and bred in Hawk Green, Marple and his article
"Recollections of a village" tells his account of life in the community.
This is a well illustrated and fascinating story and Alan talks of the
shops, some of the characters, the cricket team and of wartime among
many other topics.
