Wigan Album

Thanks for posting this photo Fred, brings about some good memories of that time. I do remember you and all the other lads in the photo, though I had left by then my last year there was 1967-1968.

How come your not on the team Cyril? Was you the water boy ?

Great photo Fred not seen some of these lads for a long time

I'd left the school by then Mick as I was in the year above them, can still remember though, great set of lads.

My husband John Bretherton is on the front row,4th from the right.

Judith how do you know about my fringe you were still in nappys as I remember.

Awreet Fred and Barry its Jimm Broadbridge

Jem and Barry yes you are right ,Do you remember the hands over the knees to hide the dirt on them.

If the lad at the front is Keith Gibson, he is a cousin of mine his mum lives in Brabshaw St. Pey Shep used to knock about with us, he used to work at leyalnd motors at one time. Not seen em for years.

Bigger hands needed all round then

Hi fred, jem and everyone else on here, hope you are all ok.
jem your right it is Jimm Broadbridge. dirty knees! some of us didn't know what soap was until the girls came along.
If we were hiding our knees what is phil hiding? fred I've took the crease out of this photo, email if you want it.
Judith, I know your only two years younger but you were 11 and still in nappies that's why your eric's not on here, he was at st marks changing your nappy Ha Ha you fall for it every time girl. stay well dude.

I wouldn't mind an improved picture, Send it to phillianyates@btinternet.com

Amazing thing is that Keith Gibson is decorating my living room as I write this, How about a bit of a reunion ( In a pub of course!! )with all the ex PBS lads from 68, let me know what you think

Phil i would be up for a reunion, come on lads.

I know it's been nearly a year since I posted the reunion call but I have been quite busy at work. I'm now a retired chap so I could arrange a get together ( maybe Pemberton area ? ) If you could get word around and let me know by e-mail or phone ( 01257 473136 ) we could probably arrange a venue and date that suits all.

Regards Phil

RIP John Bretherton

So sorry Anne John was agreat lad RIP mate.
