Thorpy Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hello again David, I've remembered a few more names. Bob Hempstock Mick Linley Roger Walker. Roger lived on the same road as me, and we still meet up occasionally for a drink and a chat. I've also remembered a few of the girls. Yvonne Cohen Christine Salmons Avis Tingle Valerie Burgin Mavis Leavesley Rosamund Pygott Sandra Cooke Judith Whitehead Betty Smedley. As you say it seems to have been a very good class, in what was a very good school! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidFrance Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 Wey-hay! And a couple more of the ladies....Ann Simmons, Wendy Bagnall (same birthday as me), Diane Goodfellow, (whose mum was a teacher), Valerie Shaw (who will be at the reunion), Lilian Handley, Jacqueline Parkin, .....phew! I'm running out of brain cells! Don't forget to listen to Rony Robinson from 1pm tomorrow for the Sharrow Special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidFrance Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 Don't worry Runningman, I'll put a reserved notice on a chair for you! Like I said, we may spill out to a pub! Suggestions welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself and Runningman.. can take half hour turns at leaning against my Zimmer frame.. !! If a pub is required for any - after meeting - further drinks .. then 'The stag' at Sharrow head is the only one nearby that I can think of. I enjoyed the 'Sharrow lane' poem on Radio today David..(France)... but I didn't hear any mention of its origin... was it composed by yourself ?... or another source ? Looking forward to Friday the 10th.... Cheers from Dj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others are about Dixon Lane and Manor Lane and part of that one has been embodied in a sculpture in a new park near the Manor Castle. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks! Yes I agree the Stag is a good idea. I feel sure they'll have parking space for zimmer frames! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not a plug but if you have an ipad or tablet or kindle you might like to look at Tramway Tales by David France on Kindle Books priced at 97p ! I recommend "Blind Man's Buff" and "Snakes Alive" for Sharrow memories...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
