Now the photos that were on my original website.

Here is a collection of photos from the Annual Sports Day, 1958. Again, if anyone can correct any errors, or fill in any gaps, then please e-mail me

Part of the interest here is in the backgrounds - does anyone recognise other chums or members of their family?

13 - Dickie Duckett just beats Frank Bowering to the line.

14 - R Davies.

Now a group of six photos kindly submitted by the late Tony Barber's wife Alison:

18 - Tony Barber collects his well-earned trophy.
(This must have been a different year from the other photos, perhaps 1959, as the presenter of trophies differs from the one shown a few photos further on.)

37 - Sports Day, Summer 1969.
Photo courtesy of Derek Gallop, who writes:
"Losing a close one to Rob Taylor in the 100m with Bill Mouland following us home. Mr Jack Tipper (right) appears to more interested in a field event. Did anyone else get their nose regularly tweaked by him in Physics lessons? And who is the man mountain half hidden by him? Must be a discus thrower."
