Well done Salah

[Geoff Parkstone]

Knew I recognised the name...Chellaston School mid nineties right? Ruled the kids with a rod of 2’’x 2’’...and coached the 1st X1 with no small amount of success as I remember. Blimey...wondered what happened to you...I’ll pm you.

You've got me... had to take early retirement in 2003 following an accident at school involving a lathe and my arm. Spelled the end of cricket coaching too.

It's an Academy now by the way. Maybe some of the ex pupils are on this forum, or even current ones.

Ah yes...the old ‘turn it into an Academy’ panacea. If you want to know if a school has a slightly ‘chequered’ history check to see if it’s an Academy.
Seems you’ve already found yourself on the wrong side of our resident ‘rebel without a clue’. MadAmster too...doesn’t seem keen on teachers...mind you, it does seem as if the English Dept. may have let him down...still...can’t make a silk purse and all that...as they say.
Sorry to hear about the arm...you were a damned good cricket coach as I recall...didn’t you bat a bit and bowl some slow left arm spin...for Clifton wasn’t it? Suppose the accident might have brought that to a premature end.
Be in touch.
