On Tuesday I told you about the Omega Trio, a local balancing act in the days of variety.

The last remaining member is Mr Bert Yates, of Cromer Avenue, Tonge Moor, and as I said in the story, after the group had broken up, he took evening classes in physical education at a number of local schools.

Bert is standing at the back in this picture taken at Harper Green School in the 1950s.
