like music to my ears, shame about Ernie Firth though, great mate, was it not John Pollard ?, me & Mick O'Connor goes way back, don't remember Michael Routh, Richard Ormerod, and only have a hazy memory of Roman
None of the names from the year below rings any bells

You are possibly right with John Pollard, as I said the memory is not what it was. The last time I saw Mick O'Conner waas in The Pickwick in Accrington around 1979/80 and he was talking about some sort of class reunion. I don't know if he ever managed to organise it. You must remember Roman he had a younger sister called Christine and they lived on Blackburn Road near the bottom of Wheat Street. Richard Ormerod lived on the next block along going towards Church. Yes it was a great pity about Bernard Firth, what a waste.

Thanks Mick, I had a quick sprint through the pics and I am sorry to say not one of them rings a bell apart from Mick O'Conner. I told you my memory was going west.

theres a few faces there that i remember, but sadly not the names, thanks for that mick.

Just look at Ian Donohoe's website. Now look at how much he charges. Now look at this message board and how active and easy it is to negotiate.

Now look at Hyndburnlife. Now think about how much HBC paid for that.

Now think how much HBC could have saved if they'd got Roy and Ian to work together!

(Sorry, I know it's a thread wander of majestic proportions but I was just wandering around Ian Donohoe's pages and the thought struck me. He's made a very nmice job of the St. Christopher's site.)

Haven't had a look round Ians site, but there was always the old school rivalry and maybe this is another way at getting back at them gits from St C .......................tut tut..........lol

Acrylic-bob · 29-11-2004, 18:57

Nope, sorry, don't remember him. Mulderrig (sp?), Almond, Nancy Lindo, McDonald, Johnny Mayor of course, That's about it. I seem to have successfully erased the rest of them from my memory.

mickmc · 30-11-2004, 07:14

Barbara King marries Jimmy Donohue who organised the reunion and Jeanette was in the same year as us at StAnnes before we all went to Holy Family & she went to Paddock house; thats the link
