SORRY TO READ ABOUT ROY PITCHER DYING.TOP BLOKE ROY. GOD BLESS

goodness Mrs Ashley was still there in 1973 and very handy with the cane !

so sad to hear about Roy Pitchers passing and it seems funny to realise that we are in the autumn years of our lives. i could never afford to go on any of these international holidays but i was very envious. i only ever met up with Jimmy Johnson and Colin Blackledge before he was killed in an accident after leaving school the only other lad was Keith Mills and that was on a rugby field at swinton when he was pushing my face in the mud and to think that i used to get complementary tickets for him and thier Jacky to go to the ritz in the circle no less.one thing baffles me about this picture though is that whelley was a mixed school so where are the girls
