50 years ago today Reg Varney used the world's first ATM

It was in Enfield.

Enfield’s branch of Barclay’s bank was the location of the world’s very first cash machine – opened and used by Reg Varney on this day in 1967!

There's a blue plaque at the site of the world's first ATM

As a big fan of On the Buses I had a chance to see the Reg Varney Star Plaque on the Elstree & Borehamwood Walk of Fame by the train station during the On The Buses Fan Club 40th Anniversary event in 2011 and it was great to follow this up with the chance to have a photo at ‘Stan Butler’s’ cashpoint!

Crazy Golf in Chiswick, London

Minigolf at Rocks Lane Multi Sports Centre.

On Monday 4th April 2011 I headed to the Rocks Lane Multi Sports Centre in Chiswick, London to visit and play the 9-hole Crazy Golf course at the centre.



The Crazy Golf in Chiswick was the 214th course played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.



Each of the 9-holes is named after and designed to either resemble, or be associated with, another sport:
1 - Dominoes
2 - Bar Billiards
3 - Skittles
4 - Penalty Shoot Out
5 - Croquet
6 - St Andrews
7 - Monte Carlo
8 - 8 Ball Pool
9 - Pinball













Quite unmissable in the course layout is the London Bus! A first on a course I've visited!
