ORIGINAL MESSAGE NAME: David HooperDATE: 16 January 2008 CONNECTION WITH QE: Pupil 1952 - 59 Memories more positive than negative, not many memories of good teaching. Being lined up in the gym to be weighed naked at the beginning of each term, the red swimming slips, the traipse to Galley Lane, school on Saturday mornings all made me the fine upstanding citizen I am today!! However Kelvin Hopkins, John Witton-Dauris, Ferd Fitt, Bev Newman and others still meet up occasionally. | ||

NAME: Alan Vincent DATE: 04 February 2012 CONNECTION WITH QE: Pupil 1952 - 60 Yes, the dreaded red slips. One of the greatest things my mother did was to teach me to swim in the summer hols before I started at QE. Thus almost seamless graduation into grown up, blue trunks. The group Drape Hooper mentions was largely the jazzers, with some crossover to Lyonsdown FC. Others who escaped from QE on Sunday mornings to play the beautiful game included Dave Every, Geoff Smith, John Highley, Will Guy, Pete Bolton, George Neville et al. | ||

NAME: David Hooper DATE: 06 February 2012 CONNECTION WITH QE: Student 1952-59 Nice to see you're still around, Alan. John W-D is the network hub, and is still in regular contact wit Dave Every, Pete Bolton and a few others of us who played football when it was a real game, and not merely a business proposition. | ||
