Its with a sad heart that I have to report that my very old friend Michael Maw (Harleyman) passed away after a long illness. I attended Hucklow Road School with Mike and then Mike attended Hindhouse school. We lost touch for many years but met again and for the past 20 years have been close pals. We talked about the old days, places and friends for hours, he often said he still loves Susan Arundel just to make me jealous. Mike kept strong until the end and I'll miss him greatly. Rest in peace my old pal. Mike's funeral will be held at Hutcliffe Wood Friday 23 Oct. Send a prayer for Mike his wife Kim, daughter Becky and granddaughter Heidi.

Before it was centertainment, there used to be cottages owned by the railway. If you were lucky and worked for the railway then you lived in one of the cottages. I was born there, it was known as Railway cottages off Broughton lane.

I remember Philip as a quiet but very clever friend.He had a very enquiring mind and seemed to know more than you would expect. We did get into trouble when we collected mercury from the sink traps in the lab, or when we removed an electric clock from behind shelves in the library to see how it worked. I also remember using an electric shock machine on a large group of boys in the playground, whoever let go first got the shock. Although Philip got into trouble it was always because he wanted to know more than the curriculum was teaching him.

There's indoor Rounders for male and females at Wickersley Sports Centre every wednesday 7.15 to 9.15pm
