We believe the band rehearsed somewhere in the Stoughton area of Guildford. Graham Wadsworth replaced Goddard sometime in ’84. The band are known to have performed at the Village Hall, Ripley, somewhere in Worplesdon, and the Civic Hall, Guildford in ’85, by which time the band had added ? Trevor (?).

Cundy would later crop up in ERA. Godfrey left us in 2021.
