Hi,

I went to St Chris's but left in 72 which is before your time.

Just for a laugh . . . I nearly killed Mr Gibson ( PE teacher ) when I set what was to become the town javelin record . . Which stood for twenty to thirty years I was once told. Yep . . When Gibson stood at the other end of the school field and said "throw it . . try to hit me " . . I bloody chucked it aiming for his head ! It worked . . Got the record and Gibson was always nice to me after that.

It is quite amazing that so many old Accringtonians highly value their youth in Accy . . Nice to read so many good stories from so many down to earth people who to this day . . Display no airs and graces.

I suppose it's accurate to reflect and say that "we were one of the last generations who were allowed to enjoy our youth " happy about that I must say.

If anyone else from Chris's is out there . . Send me a message sometime. Cheers . .
