1909  Geronimo, the last Apache chief to surrender, died in custody

Before we went there for the first time last night we knew Banham has a zoo, a shop, a community centre and Sara from the former Munch-Box Café lives there.  What we now know about Banham is the community centre's main hall couldn't double as an aircraft hangar but you could probably squeeze in eight helicopters double stacked, it's high enough; and they just love having their photo taken in Banham.  Once The Outlaws' easy going honesty had winkled people out of the bar you couldn't stop 'em posing or dancing.  In fact one girl danced so committedly she ended up full length on the floor ... or maybe it was just midnight sunstroke.  Great night ...

... and on our way home the lights were still on in the Wilby village hall.
