How much did you make on your communion/conformation?

KingK

Having just read the thread on communions and conformation's being scrapped,seeing a kid make a grand for it is unreal. I know on my communion I got £200,which was a tidy sum back then. But how much did ant other posters recieve? Any ridicolous amounts out there?

Dr. Kenneth Noisewater

Communion in 1992 - £105.

Confirmation in 1997 - around £180 iirc. Enough to buy a Playstation and Die Hard Trilogy

Mr.Biscuits

Two pounds ten a tit and a fiver for my arse.

xzanti

Communion - 1989 £74

Confirmation - 1994 £105

IIRC

Not enough, I've had to work since.

No idea.
A hundred or two I guess.
It was almost 20 years ago, and my memory isn't great at the best of times.

Stark

£80 for my communion if I recall. Bit more for confirmation but can't remember exact amount.

krudler

just over 100 pounds iirc, thought it was the most money ever back then. I spent it on Star Wars toys and video games, which is exactly what I'd spend it on today :pac:

300 quid for my communion in 1971. I hit the jackpot big time as my Dad was away working in the U.S, I had no front teeth and a plaster on my knee and millions of relatives. My Mam is still minding most of it for me....:(

No idea about the confir as I'd stopped paying attention by then.

I don't remember how much I made for my communion, probably £2. It was 1966.

I never conformed, though.

You could buy a farm with that type of money back then.

Can't remember and my Ma took it 'to mind it' for me - never saw that cash again. I'd be surprised if it was more than a tenner.

Trupence ha'penny.

Feck all.

I didn't go round begging off my relatives like some sort of degenerate. I had class when I was a child.

Back then we had the pleasure of not being called after young goats either.

It's kind of ironic that you spelled it 'conformation'.
