Many of you may remember my sister Joan Barber licensee of the American Tavern in Mill Street and her husband Geoff. These photographs show Joan doing a ‘Great Sleep In’ in aid of Muscular Dystrophy in the Debenhams window during the early 1970s.

Does anyone know if they are still around?
I seem to remember Geoff managing the Garrick later in the 70’s
Unfortunately Geoff & Joan have passed away after many happy years in The Village Inn in Brompton nr Northallerton – Peter Beardsworth, brother
I’m so sad that Joan and Geoff have passed away. I wish to send my condolences to Mark and Philip. Best wishes Mark Robson
