Gathering In The Hall

Jim Platt the goalkeeper for Middlesbrough with the pupils of the junior school, now believed to be 1976 (thanks to Craig Urban), John Samways (orange shirt ) is identified, but can anybody help with why and possibly names? The lad in the red shirt is Keith Winspear. They were in the hall to present the winner of a raffle; the first prize was an autographed football by the Middlesbrough squad which Jim Platt was there to present it to the winner.

We’re Back

Yes back at the Old Bull and Bush, I don’t think we would see anyone with blackened faces today, but were you behind one of the disguises? I remember two of these minstrels were Simon Best and Steven Fenby. Simon has put on his thinking cap to identify the other boys, but we would welcome assistance.

What Have You Won?

Lots of pupils in this photo, were you one of them? If so tell us what the shield was for please.

Duncan Hannah tells us:”Stood at the front (striped top) is Mark Lindsey, to his right knelt down is Guy Young, to his left is Rebecca Cook and in front of her is me!” Standing to Mark’s left is Paul Stokes. We believe the lady presenting the shield is Mrs Lynn Lindsey, but what for and when?
