Swimming

Thats me, (the chubby one)second in from the top left, with Peter May on my right on the end, think it may be David Murley below us, no too sure though, never thought I would see that again!!! read# read#

In the back row 2nd from the right looks like Roger Pearce and in front of him Des Thomas

Oh yes, this should be in the 1950 s not 1970 s. laugh# laugh#

Oops I ll get HH to change the file/picture to the correct year. thanks for letting us know.

Back row Peter May Duffy James ? Derek or Paul Ladner Roger Pearce David Marston(me) Mid row Mike Perkins ? Kieth Stirling Des Thomas ? Front row ?Gilbert Robert Clift Neil Birchenough Peter Trahair . Definitely 1950s

I ve moved this to 1950 s thanks Duffy

Way back then Duffy was my nickname, one of the teachers called me it after I wore a Duffy coloured jumper to school. Don t know how he came up with that description for a colour? laugh# laugh#

I read today that Neil Birchenough died on the 22nd October 2009 in Angola.

I just want to say that he was one of my boyhood/early teenage friends and I want to mark his passing with my fondest memories of our early boyhood snorkelling/scuba times.

I lost touch with him many years ago, but the news of his death fills me with sorrow as it is another notch in those lost to me in the column of my life progression.

Good views to you Neil, you strode your own path and many of us are the better for it.

I hope you rest in Cornish spirit if not soil.

Duffy

Thats me, David Wiltshire, right hand end of the middle row next to Des Thomas
