Christine Bleakley might be water skiing across the Channel for Sport Relief, but on today's show we had a man from the Forest who could teach her a thing or two.

Chas Phipps - nicknamed the Severn King - was the first man to ski the bore, and the first and probably the last man to ski non-stop from Lydney to Gloucester, and later to ski 100 miles on the Severn and Wye estuaries eventually to end up in Gloucester.

Chas certainly gets around. He also opened the first nightclub in Gloucester on Worcester Street called the Dolphin, and then moved onto running Witcome Lodge.

We had lots of memories about the stars who appeared at these venues and would love to hear from you about the nightspots of the 60s and 70s for a series we are running in a couple of weeks' time.

Do you remember Chas Phipps? Were you there when Val Doonican opened the Dolphin, or Bob Monkhouse played Witcombe Lodge?
