RE: RE: Lyndhurst School
I was at Lyndhurst 1963 to 1968, I remember Mr Ladds well with his handlebar moustache, he was the metalwork teacher. With regards to the PE teacher, that was a Mr Smith (his wife was also a teacher there) and yes, I remember all we ever did in PE was basketball and I too hated it, in fact most of the boys did as the other senior schools Campions & Holmshill did not do it and they called us Lyndhurst kids sissys because we did not do much football. However around 1966 a new PE teacher came there called Mr Wooster and he introduced us to some other sports. I remember doing cross country running which I quite enjoyed.
