Delighted to discover

Mike Robinson lives near me in Wollaton and told me about the site — absolutely delighted to discover its secrets. I was at BGS 59-66 and remember Chris Haywood well — straight fair hair so he was nicknamed “Curls”. I remember Lynn Wood very well — is the Steve Wood her brother the hockey player who went on to play for Beeston and England? Lynn let me know. I haven’t seen John Ryland since school — but see Johnny Asher regularly in Wollaton. I kept up hockey after I left school and so kept well in touch with Mike (MT) Robinson — and Rob Breckles, Andy Neep, Keith Hale and one or two others. Does anyone see Pete Pitchford? — he lived on Parkside, two doors from HJP — would love to know if he became a vet.
