	Staines resident Bill Nankeville ran in both 1948 and 1952 Olympics though it wasn't clear what this had to do with changing the name of Staines One of this guy's two Olympic gold medals - you could be photographed with him for one of the charities present The British Airways Brass Band. For some reason we didn't get the Staines Brass Band, one of the top bands in the country - perhaps they were competing elsewhere. Their second band, the Staines Lammas Band was listed on the programme but I didn't see them perform.
