Hello Charles,
I, too, remember you from Mirfield.
You asked in one of your previous comments, if there were going to be any Mirfield reunions this year – i have not heard or read about any taking place. However, Eamon Crowe or, maybe, Michael Fieldhouse are the best people to try and contact. I am sure, if they read this, they will, through the blog, make contact with you, and let you know of any future Mirfield reunions.
On another note, i seem to recall, that when you were at Mirfield, we had a conversation about your duel nationality – both British and French – or have i got that completely wrong?
Best wishes,
Mark.
Hi mark thanks for reply …re duel nationality afraid wrong mark lol im from county durham might not speak english up there but definately not french …..I got a reply from degs too so good hearing from you guys I said to degs the 20 months I was at mirfield made big impact on me some great adventures and experiences …thankfully not as traumatic as some of the older lads very distressing to hear about that …but I have vivid memories of you yr peter and another lad takin us down to have with alex at the Anglican seminary in mirfield also you winning the 1st prize at chrismas party fancy dress as a scare crow complete with broom shank how is yr peter wits he upto take care fir now charles
