My husband is not shy. His school which was the Junior Technical School moved there with their teachers including Lol Marsden in 1947 It was then a empty building. They moved from Portland St Accrington. The principle, Ernie Overend, moved to another Tech and Lol was appointed principle after the move. The Tech uniform was Green Blazer,Green Cap, Grey Shirt, and Green and White striped tie.

Yes you could be right. He cannot remember for sure, what was on the badge, but thinks the blazer was just green. It's many moons ago.

Was talking to Tina's mum last week.

My husband knew Volly very well. They worked together when in their teens, he also learnt my husband to drive. Last saw him and his wife when we had a reunion in James St Club Ossy in 1990 when on a visit back to Accy from OZ.

Near sure hes correct wi the blazer, reckon there was only colour on the badge.

[ossy kid]

Blazer just dark green, the badge shaped like a shield in yellow with ASTS at the bottom. The tie yellow and green angled stripes but we still looked a scruffy lot, on my photos anyway. Was there 1956/60.

Miss Cooper P.E teacher aka j-lo of them days, Mr Thompson P.E. teacher he went sooo red when he got mad, Mr Best, science teacher nice guy when he was there which wasnt often got pushed around by some bad kids tho, Mr Hargreves Maths teacher screw him and his weird ass desks that uppercut you, I felt like i was battling the effects of chloroform everytime i was in his class, Mr Winkley he was ok with me but others had alot of problems with him, last I heard he topped himself in his car not sure if its a rumour or true, Mr Mcmanus aka captain kremmen odd guy, I heard he snapped and slapped a kid haha Mr Chappel French teacher he used to sit in the quad playing his guitar really badly and he went on and on about a cravate for some reason

We (Andy n Lisa) both went to Rhyddings at different times and I can honestly say I enjoyed it there 99% of the time. (1973-1978) Reading back over all these posts brings back some great memories so well done to Panther for bringing up the question.
