In this months Podcast our Veteran Players Committee dive into what they found in the second edition of Recall, now on sale in limited numbers. A reproduction of a local Parish Magazine “The Call” from the early 1970s. It describes a community and a country in transition.     It talks about a place where everybody knows your name, and almost everybody’s name is mentioned. A community aware of the wider world and its impact.  A community committed to a clear set of community values
