Any Other Old Farts Out There?

hi i was at rhyddings at the same time as you ,hazel pickup, i still live in accrington.

[smudgie]

Yes, was there 1995-2000.

A terrible school at times, some of the teaching standards looking back where absolutely abysmal.

Agreed Mr Newton in technology was one of the best.

[smudgie]

Yes, if anyone remembers the woodwork teacher Mr Winkley ?? Dennis I think his name was?? He commited suicide around 1999-2000 when I was in year 11 I think.

The same week if my memory serves me right Mr Furlonger who was a brilliant English teacher sadly passed away after having a heart attack. Wasnt a great week to be at the school, thats for sure !!

Few more of my teachers that I remember.

Mr Szpack Deputy Head, nutter.
Mr Barnes (Geography) , who was brilliant. ..... and is still there!
Mr Lavin & Jordan , P.E.
Mr Connell (French), nice bloke.
Mr Ainsworth, (History) and deputy head, about 4ft 5, but fierce as anything.
Mrs Whelan (Maths), she was pretty cool, but a rubbish teacher I thought.
Mrs Cooper (chemistry), right wining old bint!
Mr Rigby (Biology), Strange bloke.
Mr Newton (Technology), Brilliant.
Mr Stobbs (Art), Who I believe sadly died of cancer a few years back?? Nice chap.
Mr Jagger (Art), Also sadly passed away a few years ago.
Miss Teale (Dance), what a nutter she was!
Mr Trickett (Deputy Head), who aparently is now the headteacher???

I am rewriting this post as the first attempt was rubbish, My wifes best mate at Ryddings was a lass called Bernadette Flannigan, does anyone know of her or her whereabouts we haven't heard from her in fifty years. Yours Taddy

[taddy]

Hi, just a quick request from my other half, is there anyone on this site that went to Rhyddings between 1960 and 1964 and especially anyone who knows or knew a lass called Bernadette Flanagan, she was my wifes best mate at school. Thanks.

Mr. Ainsworth is retiring this year and Miss Teale married Mr. Stobbs and is still teaching at Rhyddings. Mr. Rigby left last year. I went to Rhyddings till 1982 and my kids went there later and they were taught by some of the teachers I had.

I remember going to Rhyddings st Con club1965/6.....met some girls who also went there, Pat Holden(or it could have been Eillen), Sheila Parr, Jackie Hetherington( or it could have been her sister). I think they went to Rhyddings '61-'66.

A quick bump back up the topics. I went to Rhyddings 77 - 82. Hard not to really living across the road on Sun St.
Remember loads of the teachers previously mentioned but what about Mrs Graser- French Teacher? The only time she liked me was during Wimbledon when I could bring the portable black & white telly to watch the matches. Ironically she moved to Carr Hill School in Kirkham & taught a couple of my cousins!

Mrs Hills - English lived at the top of Jubilee st. Ended up getting me my nickname.

Here today, somewhere else tomorrow.
