THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK
Life President⭐⭐🦐
What sport have you seen, but never played, and thought 'I wouldn't mind trying that.'
Curling.
Curling.
Hockey. Always though I'd be good at it. Too old now.
You never played hockey? :stunned: We played it both at my school and the boys next door at WHSB (I think!) when I was there, and it was taught to both my kids at their school. Good game, I enjoyed it a lot.
I've never done archery and feel that I should have done.
Formula 1, after all I'm a taxi driver so how hard would that be?

We used to jump over the fence and play football on that great hockey pitch at WHSG. It had the nice big school building, which sat on a huge bank behind the North goal, and those bushes behind the South goal. So the bushes and the bank stopped the ball behind the goals, we liked that. The outdoor swimming pool which we also used in the summer was behind the bushes to the left of the South side, which is sadly houses now.
Off topic I know but we used to start swimming in that pool from Easter on, regardless of the weather - and no changing rooms down there, so we'd traipse down with towels wrapped round us, teeth chattering, having changed in the main building!
When I was at Belfairs we used to have to have showers but as you got older you realised it was so that a pervert sports master could watch you .It's O.K. to go off topic now and again, when something of interest comes up. Blimey, Easter swimming start, freezing sometimes. At Belfairs, we had freezing cold showers in those bad winters after sport, because of cutbacks and some sort of fuel thing. We also suffered many days of no heating at school, when it was about minus 8. Sport was never called off because of the weather as well. We played in snow, severe wind and rain, hailstones, the lot. Kids of today moaning, they have no idea.
