Wonder what you folks did in those days? No cell phones, no game-boys, no Internet, not too many computers, maybe you played cards or sports more often?
My parents enrolled me in the Scouts so I could satisfy my pyromaniacal tendencies in a controlled environment
I was enrolled in Judo classes so I might learn some skills to defend myself against the bullies at school. That didn't last long, the bullies were also in that Judo class and so had even more time to beat me up...
They signed me up for music lessons, which we gave up as I couldn't hold a tone.
I got signed up for a checkers club, stopped after a while as every other member was 50 years older than me.
There was little else in the way of organised activities around in the village, except the football club (beneath our social standing) and the tennis club (for wannabee socialites, people we didn't want to be associated with, which was mutual).
