I cannot recall there being any competitions, but there may have been. We did however have a country dancing club which I think was on a Saturday afternoon and was held in Twickenham School. Children from other schools came The one thing I can remember (like many other people) is buying chocolate wagon wheels at these clubs and they seemed like about 12 inches across. Not the tiny things you get these days.
The photo you refer to was a play which we did and I seem to remember either we went to another school to do it or they came to us. It was not a speaking play it was a mime. We did a few others as well, but I have no photos of these.
The one thing I can tell you about my Dad being caretaker of the school, and I am sure a lot of people will remember it, is him playing a musical instrument many times at assemblies and different occasions. He played a dulcimer, you may have heard of one, the one he played should have been played with hammers but he used plectrums.
