Hi Pete

I remember you well. Hope you remember me from the good old days on the Bolehills. I also remember Phil and Barry Adams, Dave Bennison - what a good player and Rob Smith playing in his winkle pickers and flash jeans.The harris's and Royden and of course Roy.

Best regards

Geoff Worth

Hi Rob

Good to hear from you. I remember the shoes and jeans with great respect. I swap emails with Dave regularly and both he and Brother Pete are well as is Royden. You obviously heard about Roy Jessop which is very sad. You picked up on message between Pete Longsdale(Lonnie) and me which is good. In fact this whole Forum is great as I have made contact with many old friends and hopefully will continue to do so. Please keep an eye on the messages and stay in touch.

Geoff

I'm a bit young for this thread, I went to Westways in the late 70s to early 80s, but I was in Mr Holden's and Mrs Marshall's classes. I remember Miss Ambler being there as well. Mr Holden retired whilst I was there, he was a decent fella, always having a fiddle in class (I mean on his violin!)

 

Hi Al, we must have been around Westways the same time.

Miss Ambler was one of my all time fave teachers!As I recall she was brilliant at sewing and crafts.(Also can remember her being amazingly good at completing rubiks cube,all us kids used to bring them in for her to complete!)

 

And was also in Mrs Marshall's class,a teacher I remember with less fondness!
