MUM'S 90th BIRTHDAY RECEPTION

The Encore Restaurant, The Crucible Theatre, Sheffield
5 January 2002.


The respective sides of the family may be unfamiliar with relationships on the other side
so I thought a Family Tree might be useful!

Most of the family were gathered together
at the Encore Restaurant in the Crucible Theatre
to help Mum celebrate her 90th birthday.


Mum greets Uncle Jack with Barbara looking on and Aunty Edith on the right.

The Bates side of the family. Aunty Edith, Ken and wife Maureen, Gill and Husband Les, Kay and husband Kevin.

Aunty Margaret and Uncle Jack strictly belong to the Dunwell side but there has been a strong affinity between them and Aunty Edith's family.

My son Joe and my wife Judith frame Sam, who is Joe's (half!) nephew. (Almost Mum's great grandson.)

Aunty Daisy and her family, my daughter Emily just visible over Aunty Daisy's head. Tony and wife Jenny, Margaret on the right. In the background are Joe's mother Jane and Janet, a friend from my university days.

More of Aunty Daisy's family. Margaret and husband Mark. To the left are Joe's half sisters, Frances, Charlotte and her partner Ian.

More Dunwell side. From the right, cousins Christine and Janet with Roger's wife Pat. Had Paul been in his seat he would have been in this picture!

Cousins Roger (opposite Pat) and Stuart frame Glennie's husband Bob.

Christine's husband Peter with his mother-in-law, Aunty Eleanor.

Mum shares a joke with Glennie and Stuart's wife Christine.

Joe, Sam and Judith examine the contents of
another cracker pulled by Sam!

I wow them all with a well rehearsed and witty speech!!!!


Mum tackles the candles on her cake.

I seem to have missed Paul (entirely!) and Emily from my shots but here is a bonus one of Emily cooking a meal for us on Christmas Eve.
