Stubbington 1964 67

A Memory of Stubbington.

I landed up in Stubbington after Boxgrove School in Guildford closed ( truly Dickensian!)
I was terrified of Arthur Moore, he was just awful, I never had a clue about latin and he really enjoyed the fact that I was a waste of time in that department, chalk spit and dandruff flying in all directions.
I went to a reunion at the RAC club in London about 10 years ago with a long time friend Robert Dalgliesh, the school had just closed and a member of staff saved all the school pictures on the walls, so I have a great school picture in the black frame from 1966, plus one of the second fifteen "rugger" team..
I must admit that after Boxgrove Stubbington was a doddle , I remember going through the grounds of the convent next door to the school and going up to the off license in Ascot to buy sweets at the weekend ( I was a full boarder) I dread to think what would have happened if I had got caught !!
I remained a friend of Andrew Walters after he went to Shrewsbury and took the cloth, he married Sally Armstrong the matron and she died very young.
