Re: Ken Grimshaw
Wow! Printing Club?! I was involved in/ran The Gallows Press under Barnes in The Tube. Had the time of my life learning Letterpress Printing. Being able to read upside-down and back-to-front has stood be in good stead over the years! Ken Grimshaw and Phil (PG) Williams were my teachers for Design A-...

Re:
Hmmmm, well that would depend on how well behaved the dog is ......... I just can't envisage any of our dogs returning to heel if I were trying to bellow 'Eth-el-dre-da! Come!' as they took off down the paddock after a kangaroo. Maybe clicker training would be called for? She certainly answered to ...

Re:
Mr. Grimshaw lost his bike, which had apparently been thrown into Doctor's Lake by one of his many disgruntled pupils, where, I dare say, it still a-rusts undisturbed... True.... except for the bell, which was "rung" repeatedly behind his back whenever a large enough group of those involv...

Re: POSTCARDS FROM THE 70'S 1
The drum major looks like Luxmoore to me, Nick I think was his first name, had an elder brother too. On looking again you could be right. There certainly was a Luxmoore in Mid A in my final year and he was tall compared to most as was Vernago(?spelling) although I recall Vergnago as big in build as...

Re: MEMORABLE THEATRE OR MUSIC CONCERT AT CH
Recollections...? Biggest event: The filming of the Roy Clark Travelling Music Show for BBC2 My favourite school production was definitely Erpingham Camp (or Mr Erpingham) by one of the senior houses, based on the play by a guy called "Joe Orton" who I had never heard of... I now know all ...

Re: The Water Tower
Does anybody know whats inside the water tower ? In our last weeks at CH (summer 83) we were taken up the Water Tower by the the Head, Derek Baker (possibly in a move to endear himself to us as a parting gesture...). As I seriously hate heights, it was with hindsight, a foolish thing for me to have...

Re: So, the underground tunnels...
Roger Martin cleaned out one of the rooms, put in some printing equipment and called it 'The Gallows Press' He did indeed... It was running a few years before I arrived, although he "relaunched" it in 76-77 and I joined it as a hobby and ultimately ran it myself until I left... and very p...

Re: Mufti
Dr (as I believe he was) O'Meara certainly did amass (or inherit) a vast collection of old signals kit. I was cadet O/C signals in my last year, rising to "Colour Sergeant" on the last week of the summer term! (And I DID go to the stores to draw the red sash just for a photo!) Anyway, whil...
