I hadn't realised that at the time I originally posted.

I just about remember certain food and sweet rationing still in force in the early 50's, before my CH days.

Matron sitting next to Roger Martin was Esther Green, who only passed away a little while ago.

So, I was sitting in the pub with Keith Battarbee last night (as you do) after watching NTLive Macbeth at the local cinema and we were trying to explain the school uniform to someone... I Googled on my smart phone (again, as you do!) and this page came up!

Keith was able to point out several people including himself to us (giggles all round) in the 1961 photo but then we noticed his named is spelled wrong below the picture.... PLEASE could someone edit it to BATTARBEE?

Thank You

Hi Michael.
The silver trophy was held for shooting at Bisley? I believe. The Hay Cup. Barnes B held it for at least 3 years. I think John Knight can confirm the location of the shoot out. I only enjoyed being on the butts party to Steyning then dropping off at a half -way stop for a swift half pint shandy
I only got my Cert, A with .22 rifle in the CCF......

I am confused.

Surely it is a photo of Barnes A, if so, why have they got a Barnes B cup?

Also, why is a junior house involved in shooting?

I rather suspect that a number of different photos have been confused/conflated. Certainly the last three or four to be posted are on the Barnes A lawn.

I was bl**** annoyed at that. They would not allow us to sight the rifles in and the one I used was way off. For the sake of just a few pence they tarnished my army record for life; that was how much CH cared for its pupils in those days and they haven't sought to make any amends since.

To think that in competition (with a decent .22) I was averaging 99.4 over the year. That was somewhat of a joke - I was in the second level at the club; someone in the first level never won the club trophy but did come fourth in the Olympics - that was the club standard!
