OK, sorry!

Perhaps they lived in Barns Green.

Barnt Green? I had a friend lived there.

Barns Green is about 2 miles from CH. Barnt Green is in Worcestershire I believe.

Must have been before my time. I do remember Chemi T (Mary Thompson) turning out for the staff versus school hockey match wearing brogues, a tweed skirt and brandishing a hurley (hurling?) stick well above shoulder height.

Who, other than you, mentioned excluding everyone else?

Julian and others, including me, have expressly stated that we welcome you but it is a FACT that your position is unique.

John Cullen. He played in the Varsity match (not sure how many times), had a brief spell at Wasps, I think. Not sure where he ended up after that. Rosslyn Park, maybe? I remember seeing him captain Middlesex in a televised match. Not sure, but I'll ask him next time I bump into him. I remember him ...

Who was that and did he play at a senior level after school?
