I am on the far left, second row (with glasses), so you can't miss me! - I think this was form S13 or T14.

The lad next to Philip Steele is Anthony Sloan, and ? Webster is Paul! - Does anyone remember me doing an impersonation of Mr. Chadwick when he'd gone out of the room, and he came back unexpectedly and caught me! - I would love to hear from you - dave_lowe1958@live.co.uk

I worked at Billinge Hospital from 1979 to 1985. One of our teachers, Mrs. Worthington was in the WRVS shop! I've seen Mr. Farrimond a few times in Wigan, but not for a while now.

Very sad to hear about Mr. Farrimond; he was one of my favourite teachers - a lovely fellow. Is the girl next to Julie Mills, Elaine Smith? - is the girl next to Hazel Sharrock, Alison ?, but I know the girl after is Christine Cayzer. Hazel Sharrock's dad, Bill worked at Billinge Hospital. Christine Hilton's dad, Stanley did minor building works, and he often did jobs for us. Very professional!

Does anyone know of any reunions for pupils in my class. Brocket Arms possibly?
