Added on 25 Jul 2022

Page seems to be a childrens page for someting called The Nig Nogs.
Cyril Blakeway is listed along with about 50 other children under title Members of Ring of Stars

Thank you.

Researched it at it was a childrens club and they issued badges called ring of stars
It was disbanded later and renamed for obvious reasons
Below is copied and pated from another article :-

My sister who would have been 96 now, had she lived, was once in a club in the "Evening Despatch" newspaper. It was certainly not racist but it was called " The Nig Nog Club". My daughter now has the badge amongst the family heirlooms. Has anyone recollections of the club. I did write to the Paper years ago and they replied stating that they had to cancel it, the reason was obvious. Geff

Thanks, don't think I will include that on BCC.

All sorted and added, Thank you mumbles.
