One of the light hearted stories from that year saw hundreds of people turn up at the St Catherine’s Church fete in the town, to part in the summer festivities.

Ice cream stalls, tombola’s and much more took place on this glorious summer day back in July 1990, which saw many people of all ages take part and enjoy the fun that was on show.

The Troll Trek 90 youngsters

The summer of 1990 may have been one of the hottest in recent decades, but, for a group of teenagers decided to descend to one of Europe’s coldest countries.

Around 15 teenagers from the town travelled to the frozen fjords in Norway as part of the Duke of Edinburgh scheme, the Troll Trek 90.

The youngsters were trained in different parts of the UK such as Dartmoor, Snowdonia and the Lake District before going to the north of Europe.

That same year saw also saw a unique and tear shedding moment in Binfield.

The Waymead Centre in the town received a specially-modified bath tub to help those who are disabled.

Presented by Cynthia and Graham Boyett, the couple presented the business with the unique bath after their daughter, Claire, who was a frequent user of the centre, died a year earlier in 1989.

The parents of Claire decided to raise funds so that the Waymead Centre could get the bath, as a thank you for helping their daughter.

During the same time, the Bracknell Nostalgia celebrated the weddings of two local couples from the area.

The two lucky and loved up couples were Neil McKay and Anne-Marie Hather, who were from Wokingham and Bracknell respectively.

The trek lasted around two weeks.

He said: “Because I know someone with Leukaemia, I have got involved over the years, and now, we have got into training and bought equipment for the training.”

Around £7k was donated to the Berkshire 'back to work' scheme

Finally, around £7,000 was donated towards a ‘back to work’ initiative within the area, and for next week’s edition, we will be staying with 1990 to see what else was going on in the area.
