I still have my badge from then Keith we had a great team all thru the seniors. Anthony bryan aka rasta, colin nesbitt, lewis Lloyd, colin robinson, john miller, dennis Thompson, the mighty steven Donnelly ,to name a few eggy exhall also. if I remember right we beat the teachers too in a friendly at the Twickenham fields. great times I loved metal work and woodwork with Mr Potter .had some great games of footie too during and after school in the playground with the small metal goals and a tennis ball lol.the cooking class was fun sorry colin nesbitt if you read this do you remember plastering the oven with your cake you tried to bake, ever wondered what happened to that baking powder lol guess what it went in your cake the whole tin lol happy retirement Keith thanks for your help and knowledge and being one of the best teachers in the school.
