You obviously went to the same school as I did.

Only I remember them as Langton (me), Danny, Pakyns and Wickham. When were you there?

Yes, it was Langton. Amberley was from Downlands! I started in St Lawrence in 71.

[Bry Nylon]

A fellow UCC pupil, i was in Livingstone 1LX and 2LX,

Happy days there for me there. Seemed like it lasted forever at the time, but when I look back now it was all over in a flash. Some great times, loyal friends and 100% committed teachers too.

David Williams (English) - you never forget a great teacher.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Yes, it was Langton. Amberley was from Downlands! I started in St Lawrence in 71.

By the time I got to Downlands in 88, I'm pretty sure we didn't have houses. I don't remember any anyway.

Forest was green.

I left in 1985 but Weald was one back then.

And beacon was yellow. Creepy buildings for us....

Yes it was the same for me, 99% of the teachers were very good, and yes Mr Williams was certainly one of the best, a true welsh man

 

[Jock McSeagull]

It was Amberley, Bodium, Arundel and Bramber. At Downlands. I would have started there around 78.

 

[Gullys Cats]

Addey.

 

[Lankyseagull]

Crowborough Beacon:
Ashdown (yellow)
Innes (red)
Sackville (green)
Neville (blue)

When I was there from 81-86, my house Ashdown were hopeless at virtually everything with Innes coming out top dogs, Sackville generally second and Neville limping into third.

That said, in the second year I did help Ashdown to victory in the inter-house cross country with me and a house-mate finishing first & second having seen one of the Innes guys (who was probably the best runner in the school at the time) get so far ahead of the field that he got lost in the woods and ended up finishing around tenth, much to his tearful disappointment!
