It sounds like when I started at Woodnook in '61 you were almost in your final year. I too played in the football team
I remember them all, except for Sheila Golding, (unless she was Bill Goldings daughter who lived on Within Grove estate) I worked with Bill at the Redac Brickyard.
I knew Ray Biscomes older brothers Billy and Peter very well, Bridget became a State Registered Nurse, Jimmy Bowker I believe joined the Guards regiment and was killed by a kick from one of their horses. Good to hear from you. Yours Taddy
