You might recall Heather, I was in your class at Blaketown back in the 60’s. I had an in charge“ role in the air raid shelter which we used primarily as a changing facility for the swimming pool. I was tasked to look after the school sports gear. In particular, keeping the leather rugby balls inflated, oiled etc. also water testing for the pool. Great days to think back on.
