"Excellent story, well produced with first-rate sound quality. It brings back happy memories of Hull Fair at which I also worked as a child." - Henry Rigley, Melbourne, Australia

It was very interesting and heart warming. A great combination of shots and narration Brilliant! Jon Woodcock, Hull.

Please tell us about yourself.

I am a 52-year-old engineer, married with three "grown-up" children.

In my spare time I teach karate, mainly to children, but also to adults. I was born in Hull, and have spent my life in Hull.

I am a very intense person, and like to try different challenges.

What's your story about?

My story is about the times I spent with my mother's side of the family, during summer holidays.

It was with the "Gallagher's" travelling fair.

And it is of my memories helping out with the stalls, but mainly of the .22 rifle shooting gallery, and of the people, past and present, involved with it.

Why did you choose to tell this particular story?

It has always been a special memory for me, and over the past three years I have tried to research the history of the Gallagher family.

Sadly, not much of their history has been recorded, or photographed.

During my research more pictures of the "shooter" turned up, and I have taken the opportunity to record both my own personal memories and the involvement my mother and I had with the Gallaghers.
