This photo was passed to me by Geoff Charnock and shows a nativity at Pem Primary sometime around late fifties. I was in this class but not in the photo, this class started at the school in 1956. Geoff is the shepherd with the crook, on his left is Graham Kay and Keith Ashall is also a shepherd, Joseph and Mary are Robert Topping and Carol Lucas. Kathleen Bone is the angel in the middle and Stehpen Hewitt is one of the Kings. All of this info came from Geoff. I have a vague memory that I understudied for the innkeeper and did have to go on when he went down with a cold. It would be nice if they could all be identified eventually

Hi Jan I'm pretty sure that Geoff Duckworth was not in this class, the name is familiar to me, I think that he was in the class below us
