  1. I loved Candide!  Yes, remember Mr Charnock, but not his parties, although I remember him being at a 6th Form/Leavers Disco at Sandpipers or some such.  Also remember taking younger children on a walk by Cromford Canal, churning out the history of the place - in fact I was telling someone about it just the other day.  Perhaps that was an Arkwright Society duty?!

  2. Oh, I know who you are now, Linda R!  Ruth, Yvonne and Barbara were my best friends at the time, but not in touch with any of them now. Remember Jane, but don't know about a Debbie being on the trip - Deb Green, perhaps? Don't remember buying the record!  I have a photo of the group of us.  Have you got it too?.  I did French, German and History.  Both my parents have died, but my brother is still in Nottingham so go "home" sometimes- still miss it after all these years

  3. The Metalwork teacher at my school, Bilborough Grammar, was Mr Kirton, or however it's spelled!  Didn't know him, as girls in those days weren't allowed to dabble in such subjects (not that I'd have wanted to!)
