escort1 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Does anyone remember the outdoor pursuits centre ?, Brownhead Farm near Pickering on the North Yorkshire moors. Think we had a few sponsered swims to raise money for it. Went a couple of times, no proper toilets, only an old style porto loo, remember we had to take it in turns to empty it, dig a hole in the ground and empty its contents into it. Think the school has since sold this farm, does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the Woodwork teacher Robinson! Still got a bedside cabinet I made in the class. Naylor or Dalton (can't think which) was my form teacher after Mr Lancaster. We were in library for registration best seats in the place. Mr Radford was head of our year I really liked him. Best bloke in the school. Anyone remember the East Wing roof coming off in a gales and landing in Gleadless somewhere. Also the fights with Ashliegh that seem to occur at the end of terms.

lennonman Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 great teacher memories escort1 how the hell do you remember all those? Anyway Shakespere about the dogfood...must admit i have to laugh everytime i see it in the supermarket its me int it!! Do remember Wraggy but think his name is Terry, he was a right character very funny lad, did see him with Marie a few years ago. Do remember both Connelly's as well, was a real shock to hear about them. Also Julie Moxon rings a bell though i dont think i knew her that well. Robert Horton, Barry Fearn, Kevin Bloodworth, Andy Booth, Tony Lowe, all manor lads if i remember. You are still keeping me in suspenders with your name arent you mate, still cant place you. anyway keep the memories coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakespeare Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Sent you a private message on the name. You are right about Terry's name! Ray and Steven sorry to shock you. I think one of them was killed by their father. Steven once showed me the scars from previous fights he had with sharp points. Marie's mum is still on the Manor she's in that last Boot House waiting for a house to move into! Nearly four years now since demolition started. Robert Horton gave me a big hug last time I saw him. I think he said he had been married about 3 or 4 times! Did you leave in the easter or summer? I left summer and I remember what was left of us in the youth club and being told to get off the grounds fast or be put on detention as they teachers had got wind of a fight with Ashliegh! Marvelous parting words!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
