I think the boy 2nd from the right is my brother David and not Ian, he died after being run over at Norton duck pond. Sorry, it’s the third row and its definitely our Dave. Sorry for confusion.

hello yes our Sheila was the secretary and our Dave being run over at Norton duck pond our family have never really got over it it also affected the way we or at least I brought our kids up I wouldn’t allow them bikes. Still long time ago now but still in our thoughts he would have been retired now.

Thankyou so much for that Ken, a terrible waste of life and I can fully understand your not wanting bikes for your children. As for Sheila she was a really good secretary, I can imagine Miss Potts giving her the runaround.
