team), hockey, rugby, athletics etc. CCF. Chapel.
Various masters - Gammie (from Aberdeen,
taught English very precisely), "Charlie" Hurst (Maths), Walker (Maths), Salmon (from Canada,

Left POW after School Cert. Went to Welbeck College (Notts), 1962/63, for A levels and
entry into the Army.

Now enjoying retirement in Somerset and

I enjoyed the dinner in 2002, meeting many people for the first time for
40+ years. I am not sure yet if I can come to the 2003 event.

(Rhodes 1961)
and many more of my time.I've had some contact recently

New Zealand.
