The Crypt news sheet (left) starts with a rallying call :
THE CRYPT CALLING:
Whenever we try to do something out of the ordinary we seem to frighten many of you away....WHY?
it continues - the Seventh Anniversary 'do' at the Turnpike was an evening which was greatly enjoyed by all those present. BUT, WHERE WERE THE REST?
That it was too expensive was no excuse. You had ten weeks notice - that would only have amounted to 13p per week. Last Tuesday we presented FRITZ SPIEGEL in a unique programme which most of you found extremely funny. THOSE OF YOU WHO WERE THERE, THAT IS. Surely, there is more to life than pop-music, beer and bed. COME ON - SHAKE A LEG - GET MOVING.

Size - A5, printed both sides. Wednesday April 4th, mentioned in the text suggests the year might be 1973. Extracts below reproduced (almost) verbatim....

from Diane Bonner : I remember the production of West Side Story - Ken Dempsey was one of the Jets. I remember Malcolm Ware and the girls who were part of the Sharks dancing and singing "I want to be in America" around Wetherby town centre after the Saturday Matinee. Ted Kilner put a lot into the crypt to make it successful and he had good helpers to help him, especially good old Mrs. Bathe. He always did a fantastic firework display as well.

from Jan Hainsworth : There was also Fiddler on the Roof with Heather 'the hair' Jeynes. What a production that was and it went on to stage at the Harrogate Theatre.

from Tony Martin : I remember the crypt. I used to go down there and "dance" next to Nicola Lelean - Montego Bay was on the chart, so what year might that be? (1970/71?)
Saw Jake Thackray down there. And Midnight Cowboy. And Aftermath (top-notch local band). Ted Kilner's still around.

from Simon Chambers : I too remember the crypt very well, I should do - I had choir practice upstairs and on the odd occasion (that's all I'll admit to) would go to the crypt instead. Stacked shoes, purple hair spray and a few Tom Thumb cigars - BLISS! I also remember a few town hall dances in the early 70's before I fled to America - I always remember having a hell of a crush on Joanne Kelly, but alas, to no avail.

from Mike Norman : who remembers 10 Regal and plastic cups of coke at Kirk Deighton youth club - watching Ivor and biker friends pulling wheelies - Beryl Turner and peanut head - mods and rockers - Mr. Blue Sky and ..... RICHARD SHINKINS ?

from Jean Millar (now Edmunds) : I remember the youth clubs - the Crypt, Barleyfields and Collingham there was also one at East Keswick and my friend and I would catch the bus to go to these places! her name was Christine Prior and mine was Jean Millar we also went around with Ruth ??? (sorry Ruth if you're out there). Lillian Spatt was the youth leader at Collingham and we could buy 5 cigs from the Bridge Cafe in Wetherby before we went to catch the bus to Harrogate to go to School! I saw LULU at the Crypt in Wetherby - and she was tops !!!
I now live in Australia and love it! - come to think of it, that was where I met my first husband! Collingham Youth Club...ah memories!
