i went to twickers in the early 60's--on 2 occasions.--as a youngster.
the first time i recall staying in a rented room full of cats hairs--and i was asthmatic. i was with my mum. i persuaded her to let me stay at a main railway station all evening--i was an avid trainspotter. imagine that happening these days !.
the second time i slept in the tent camp at the stadium--great fun--loads of kids together. i dont think i ever heard a word of the programme--always up to mischief with the other kids.
in my teens and early 20's--i dont honestly remember ever reading a watchtower or an awake--except for the sunday study articles. i may have learned maybe half a dozen bible verses by rote.
