RW Bro Tom Spinks PGJW, VW Bro Alan Jones RGReg, RW Bro Brian Butterfield DistGPref, W Bro Michael Bunce PGStdB DistGSec, W Bro Clive Copley PGStdB DepDistGPref and W Bro Eddie Barton (arrived under the flag of East Lancs, but as the current Secretary of Saddleworth Allied 281, it makes him Yorkshire).
