Huw Warburg at the front
Huw Warburg at the front maybe? And most likely the black man on the right was Manny Obahiagbon, who was the one who had the idea of hiring the Malatesta Club and was generally involved in the 1950s according to Donald Rooum (Freedom 7111, page 11).

I think that the older man in the back row is Bonar Thompson.

A few more photographs added from the album of Sam Fanaroff. With thanks to Nick Heath. There are more to do - and I might rescan these at higher resolution too. (This is a first attempt at scanning quite a large format and old photograph album...)

Some more photographs added from the Sam Fanaroff album today. I'm not sure if these all relate to the Malatesta Club or not. If they don't maybe we can start a new album for them... (more to come).

That's great, Battlescarred. I added her name as a caption. As a question, if you hover over these images, do you see a little edit pen appear? If so, if you could click the edit pen then click Edit on any of the photos which don't currently have captions, in order to add a caption explaining who is in the photo, if you are aware of that information, and perhaps an approximate date/decade if you can figure it out, that would be amazing!
If you can't see the edit pen when you hover over individual thumbnails, let me know and I can try to sort
