Frothy's Albums
The A.O.F.B. was founded by Bert Temple eager to show gratitude to Sir Alfred Fripp , an eminent surgeon , and prolific fundraiser with many friends and patients in high places - including the British Royal Family, who had performed a life saving stomach operation on Bert . Remarks from Sir Alfred some time later in his consulting room in November 1924 during a post operation consultation regarding raising funds for the Invalid Childrens Aid Association was all that was needed ; Bert offering to raise the sum of £100 for Sir Alfreds charities and the A.O.F.B. was born. No mean feat on Berts behalf considering the average weekly wage was around £3 at the time. Credit to Ian Brown. The Friends Of The Froth Blowers http://frothblowers.co.uk/
