An old army camp next to a turkey farm. Never been out of Accrington and never been away from Mum and Dad before! Thought I'd gone abroad!! A whole week of trips, watching the older boys fighting with other schools older boys and the older girls, well doing what older girls did!!! Was another 5 years or so before I went "abroad" again when I went down to London in an old Cortina with a couple of guys from Pilkingtons! Didn't actually go abroad for the 1st time until I went working on cruise ships in 1981.

Twas St Marys Bay gdm27, Twas the tech trip when i was there,Rhyddings must have adopted it when they amalgamated with us which i think was 62? Me owd mate actually has some pics of it on friends reunited.
