St. Nicholas Grammar School, Northwood

Hymn Books. Did everyone have one or only members of the choir or the orchestra? Were they handed out at the beginning of every year? Or did you buy it outright?

A very big thank you to Phil Dumville for sending the following School Play programmes in first class condition:

Peer Gynt (Dec 1974)
Richard of Bordeaux (Dec 1973)
The Taming of the Shrew (Dec 1972)
The Rivals (Dec 1971)

Also superb House Play programmes from 1973-74 (including Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, at the Young Vic)

Plus several mint condition calendars from 1973-74 which I haven't fully processed yet.

Useful Tip No. 32

When browsing the site using a desktop or laptop, pressing 'CTRL +' makes the display larger and after a couple of presses the side menu will disappear to be replaced by a hamburger menu in the upper left of the screen. Try it, I think it's rather good. Use 'CTRL -' to reduce the display back to original size.

I have received details of John Checkley's funeral from his son, Rich:

The service will take place at St Lawrence Church, Lechlade GL7 3AB on Friday 12th April at 12.15pm.

The committal will be held immediately after the church service at Lechlade Cemetery, a small peaceful space nearby. All are welcome to attend. For those not wishing to go to the committal please make your way to refreshments after the church service, details below.

Family flowers only but donations in John’s memory can be made to Prostate Cancer UK details to be provided in the Order of Service.

The family would love you to join them afterwards for refreshments at Monique’s Country Kitchen in Lechlade Market Place near to the church.

Please wear colour as John was not a fan of black.
