Hi everyone. I now live 12,000 miles away in New Zealand but Coventry and Woodlands School hold a special place in my heart. I was there from 1960 til 1965. I was in Brook House and well remember Bill Cleaver the housemaster and yes I was one of his Morris Dancing Team. Many boys thought we were mad but there was method, and many benefits, in our madness.
I also remember "Sooty" Corbett and Mr Barker, both attached to Brook House. I had Sooty for Maths and Mr Barker for Latin and still have nightmares about them both.
I have only just found this forum and still have a little reading to do. I'm not very good with names, unless you are a dog and then I have no trouble, so I'm looking forward to hopefully refreshing my memory.
Many thanks for accepting me into your community.
Hi Barry and good to hear from another Woodlandite. Going by your dates, you were there a year before me, so I guess our paths would not have crossed very much?
Do you recall a maths master called Bates (cannot remember his first name) from Brook?
