Willie Weiss  was fictional, but there was a Willie Wise who used to do the Summer Seasons with Alex Munroe at around the same time!

the man with the big moustache I only know as "Tash"

I think this may be Derek Roberts, a Past Captain of Maesdu Golf Club, and was married to Bessie Roberts who ran the Riding School and Stables at Glanwydden behind the Queen's Head.

My quote was for the Laurel & Hardy impersonators not the Willie Weiss band photo.

Bessie was  certainly a wonderful lady - my daughter spent many happy hours  there - perhaps you knew her Haulfre? :)

I am another with fond memories of Bessie Roberts who ran the riding school. I used to go there when she ran it from the famr that her parents rented from the Mostyn family. The famr was by Lady Forester's Convalescent Home at the back of Craig y Don.

It was a sad day when she had to relocate, the Mostyn Estate increased the rent on the farm and they had to leave there.

I remember her stables from when they were in Craig Y Don, near to where the Craig Y Don Primary School is now.  Then she had to move to Glanwydden.

A lovely, happy, and constantly smiling lady, always wanting the children to enjoy their horse riding.  So much enthusiasm and a very hard worker.   The horses I remember in her time in Craig y Don, Bingo, Dudley, Del, Rowan, she had a skewbald too cannot remember his name though atm??

I'm going back to the late 70's , think the name of the stables then was 'Conway Road Riding Stables'.

It wasn't Trooper, seem to remember it was more a cowboy name.


Edit:  I remember now :D  it was 'Gay Boy'   A very 70's un pc name, and definitely not very pc circa 2011!!


There was a lady called Di who worked at the stables at that time, her parents ran The Rydal Nursing Home on Llandudno Road on the Penrhyn Bay/Rhos on Sea border.
