Peter, You are quite right about the swimming photo, of course -(my typo). Top row second from left is Peter Dawe. I'm still looking for more photos. Cheers, Mike

Hi Chris/Keith/Pete, Here's 2 more pics. Cross country - I'm 4th from left back row next to Peter Dawe. In front of me are Maddocks and Mel Sutton. Front row left is Pat Coleman and Smith next to him. Small team - must have been an unpopular sport! The Lordswood gym is interesting - I remember...

Hi Chris, I don't know how I remember your birthday but as an accountant I do remember numbers! Mine is Sept. 10th. and my younger son is Sept. 8th. like you. Funnily enough my late father was Sept. 9th. How about that. As far as the names on your swimming pic. I think I know some. Top row 2nd...

Hi Chris, Great to be in touch with you after all these years. Your post is very interesting and informative but also sad that some of our contemporaries have passed away( Norman Garwood, Malc Acklin, Malc Foley, Tony Collett). I remember you were not in school much after your father died and...

Hi Keith, Peter, et al, Here's the 1961- 62 athletics team. Keith (you know yourself). I'm 3rd. row from top 5th. along between Parry and Phelps. What a bunch of rockers we were! Take care all, Mike (Murphy)

Hi Peter - I must correct you on one point - Mel Sutton did not win the school cross country race every year. I know that because one year I won it ! We had to do a final three laps of the field before returning to the school grounds. Nobby miscounted and went round for a fourth time - I got it...

Hi Keith, Actually I didn't post the photos. but I do have some others in the attic. I will fish them out this weekend. I left Brum in 1966 which is probably why I have lost touch with so many school friends. Living in the USA for 7 years in the 1980s probably didn't help! Although I did play...

Keith, Your basketball photo: I remember a few more. Front row: Charlie Phelps, Malcolm Gibbins, Tony Kyte, Yourself, BT Rogers, John Flowers. Back row: Norman Garwood, Geoff Brown, Malcolm Foley, ANOther, Roy Coles (Molar). Keep well. Mike Murphy (Spud)

I was one of the originals 1957 - 1963. (I did an extra year as my O levels were poor). I did recover though and ended up doing an economics degree at Cardiff University and a Masters at Bath. Of course I remember Titch Horton and Keith Harrison but I don't see any other contemporaries in these...
