  1. While in the RAF which I joined in 1955 I started taking the Ordinary Nation tests and in those, failing one subject meant taking all the courses again the following year and I knew people who took the same year three times. Is that still done ? ln 1957 I got a job at Rolls Royce in Derby as a draughtsman and was there until the summer of 1960. From there, my wife and I emigrated to the United States and have been here ever since. We don't get back too often. We now live in near Lakeland Florida.
  2. Hi, Just found this site, knew about the one by Dennis Hallam. I was in the first group that left at age 15 in 1948. I have posted a picture of the class on David's site. Got there via Roundhill, Church St. Junior. Mr. Houghton was the music teacher and one teacher was Mr. Coates. We were mostly in the annex and the last year we made a large scale village on a big board and gradually brought it forward in time. Was back in Beeston in 2013 with my son, daughter in law and two grandchildren showing them my old stomping grounds. Big changes. Could barely get around or find a place to park
