Saturday Nights

Anything that doesn't fit anywhere else, but that's still CH related.

Post by Andy Friend »

How does everyone remember (or not) Saturday nights throughout their time at CH?

It's nice to hear that the old traditions are being maintained.

We never used the park, though. FAR too obvious when we had to wear full uniform.......

Down by the river at the bottom of Denne Hill was always a good place.

It was really obvious! but 3 litre bottle are heavy/hard to hide. Just easier not bothering to cart them back to school. Do you mean the river that goes under the railway bridge by a church? Sounds familiar..

Yes, I'm sure it was obvious that you were drinking - what I meant was that you wouldn't have stood out as a C.H. pupils, as I presume you weren't wearing uniform. We WERE wearing uniform, so could be spotted from miles away.

The river is the Arun - always a good place to while away an afternoon.

Well I was (usually) a good boy on Saturday nights as my parents were teachers... I was a bit of a goody goody when it came to alochol unlike my sister who once threw up over Mrs Caincross....

In my early years we used to have a subuteo league that we played on saturday nights. Every few weeks we would have films in Big School as a bit of variety.

During the summer terms, when the evenings were light, I remember plenty of informal football or cricket.

In Mid A, my senior house, Ron "Nog" Lorimer, the housemaster, would sometimes invite a few of us to his study to watch Match Of The Day on the telly and if we were lucky he would allow us a drink of beer!

lol - how times change! :lol: Didn't have any of that kind of stuff when I was there (that I know of anyway!) All I remember is that not long after the girls started at Horsham they brought in an 8pm roll call in the girls houses (not sure if that also applied in the boys houses) - after that it was onto the club :lol: ....... or elsewhere :wink:
