School trips

Ruthie-Baby(old a/c) · Sat Oct 07, 2006 5:58 pm

I never went on any trips abroad or indeed overnight.

I went to some little house down the road in some little village, the name is almost there but I can't quite remember... Mr P help me out... I don't know what the point was but we sat around and played games and I think Miss Powell might have been involved, so it may have been something quasi-religious...?

Tim Callaghan took me to some gigs in the SE and I played in a string 4-tet out in Kent somewhere I think.

And I was very involved with music school trips to classical concerts.

i did GCSE German but never went on German trips (don't know why!). Although I was in the German dept play on my LE and GE.

Micklepage it is...

Anyone else remember it or know what the point was?

it is/was a religious retreat as well...

that'll account for the presense of Miss P then...

although i can't imagine her going on a retreat...

but we just went for a laugh and played load card games i seem to remember, oh well i suppose the religious department at CH was doing it's best...

You reminded me - Dr Stuart took all of the Maine A grecians to Dieppe on a day trip after a-levels!

And they wouldn't let him in for ages as he had a Canadian passport! Which was better than Rob Meeks who left his at home!

I remember hearing about that - very funny!

I'd forgotten about that - did Rob get in?

That sounds like another in the annuls of the great book of CH heroic failures.

Come to think of it, that isn't a bad idea.

Why not post all the stories you guys know and we could put them in a book.

well we're doing our best - have you seen how many pages long the forum is now?

Okay, time to do some heavy reading then and a book may yet take shape
