My dad went around the same time as you. Would love to ask him if he has any memories, but he spent more time on Grey Mist than he did at school. |

| I left in 1979, Andy Funnel was definately a class act when it came to teaching  In those days spending time around Grey Mist was pretty much all there was to do except heading to Wilderspool for the game. Wonder what happened to the pockect battleship that was Mr Denning? |

Why did it close? Was there a valid reason or was it just because of the standards not being met? Where are all the kids going to, has another school opened? A couple of weeks ago I was watching my lad play football on Woolston Park and there were huge gangs of Woolston High school kids having brawls with another school, presumably Birchwood or Newman? (Blue tie, two white diagonal lines across it). There must have been as many as 250 kids involved, most stood around finding it really exciting and filming on their mobiles, particularly girls.

Andy Funnel was a top bloke. The 2 drama teachers, Ian McCormack and Chris Eyres, made a cracking song up about him having a false leg and a glass eye and other removable body parts, just to wind up all the girls who fancied him! |

Reggie Denning.................... a man not to get on the wrong side of! Still he got me through my only 'O' level at Woolston - geography.

[b:33tg3xj5]Me:[/b:33tg3xj5] I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag.
[b:33tg3xj5]knockersbumpMKII:[/b:33tg3xj5] Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_50086.jpg |
