  1. Good Morning Phil, I do not recall your name so maybe I was in the year below you.My birthday is in December so I would not have been 11+ until 1955 so would have taken the exam that year I assume. Some names I remember from my year are David Randall Norman Swallow Billy Thomlinson  all from Hucknall Mick Chambers Jack Chambers and Chris Draper from other areas of Nottinghamshire . I like you enjoyed my time at the Mellish and am grateful for the start it gave me to the rest of my life.

      Yes Geoff, it looks like you were in the year below me. Some names I remember from Hucknall were Mike Carson, Richard Bullock, Keith Dawkins, Brent Reddish, Allan Bell (father ran Terminus Garage). Ring any bells?

      Thanks for the response. I remember Keith Dawkins very well having spent many happy hours with him and Dave Randall and others playing cards in the Green Dragon in Hucknall. Brent Reddish lived on our street and I palled about with him on occasions. I recall being in a pub somewhere out in the wilds when he got up and gave an impromptu performance on a piano they had. Spellbinding.

  4. You need to click on 'start new topic' Geoffrey. Keep trying... you'll soon get the hang of it. You were born the same year as me by the way. You need to click on 'start new topic' Geoffrey. Keep trying... you'll soon get the hang of it. You were born the same year as me by the way.
