Do you know what year it was? I made my first communion at St John's around 78, but that isn't my class?

What a beautiful photo just look how smart they all are lovely white ankle socks and T bar sandals, None of your ugly trainers then. x

I was in Philip Bowden's year and we made ours in June 1968. This was either 1969 or 1970. Richard and Stephen Lea I recognise.

Front row L-R; Me & Nick Roberts, Paul O'Connor & Paul Gaskill, ? & Tim Jones, Richard & Stephen Lea, John Gannon & ?, Gary Lamb & Stephen Bowden. Back row Paul Sharples, Mark Hughes and John Roberts. Missing Tim Sherry and possibly before Dave Middlehurst joined. No idea regards the ? marks. I think our bow ties were yellow and we we to the school dinner hall or St Johns club after. We had three sets of twins in the class.
