:~) Finally managed to find & access Neil Stannards` Report on the tour.
Late as usual, Combe, a common admonition to me at the beginning of lessons!
Great stuff!! Really pleased about the results, Congratulations all round.
Hope the lads were allowed a few glasses of 'la beau Vin' to celebrate such
great memories!
I wish I`d been well enough to be there,(at least for a day or two), but
sadly health problems prevented that.
Rugby was the only sport I ever really enjoyed as a boy, mainly, I suspect,
because nobody seemed to mind if you walked back after the game looking like a refugee from a gigantic mud-bath!!!
One one occasion, it (maybe) even helped me to avoid getting the cane! After an order from my Housemaster 'Charlie' Chapman in Clyde House to "Come & see me after the game", I took him literally at his word & turned up at his study door, covered in mud from head to boots! (I`ll leave any readers to decide for them-
selves the origins of his 'nickname' Charlie... had something to do with a famous
comedian, I think...)
Of course, he exploded & told me, " Go & get changed, & err, come & see me later".
I washed & changed, then kept well away from him for the rest of the afternoon.
Miraculously, by supper time, he seemed to have forgotten all about it,
Whether it was the shock of seeing me like that, or that he`d decided to let
me off, I`ll never know......

Happy Memories of that day!!

Be lucky, Tony Combe.
