Going Down To South Park.....

Not the TV show, but the 6th form college.

Seems there are a few alumni on here. When did everyone else go? What are you main memories?

I was there 84 to 86 and my main memories revolve around the arcade machines in the common room (!). As well as Track & Field (world records set with the help of Roey's mum's electric carving knife!) I can particularly remember one called Elevator Action.

Elevator Action - Videogame by Taito

The Elevator Action coin-operated Videogame by Taito (circa 1983), and it's history and background, photos, repair help, manuals, for sale and wanted lists, and census survey is brought to you by The International Arcade Museum at the Museum of the Game.

Other memories involve going to away badminton games in Darren's souped up red Beetle (can't remember his last name), being dragged off the field at lunch time by the Principal (or someone) for not getting changed before having a kick about, Mr Collins (the crazy but brilliant maths teacher) and nearly being killed on the coach coming home from a footy game away at Hartlepool 6th form in the snow.

Going to the Cross Keys across Eston Hills for lunch on a Wednesday. Walking to Nunthorpe for a beer on a Friday night, then walking home along the railway line. Started my love of walking exploration, which has served me well across the planet.

Urgh....the Cross with all the plastic plants and green lighting above the bar. I much preferred a night out in Eston/Normanby (especially Oscars's). My mates from Nunthorpe wouldn't come over though as they thought they'd get their heads kicked in

They used to do an excellent lunch on a Wednesday. It started out as 4 or 5 of us walking over the hills and ended up with 20 plus going over and getting cabs back to Normanby. I don't think I ever went in there of an evening. I did always enjoy going out in Normanby, less so Eston. The trips to Nunthorpe were always about the walking for me. Though I did always meet friends in The Bruntons.
