The young chap
with the light coloured anorak is Alan Bickerton who I am told works for
South Yorkshire Police (April). Behind Alan is John Draper who went on the
trip as a helper with Mr Hambleton the Headmaster. The young chap behind
John popping his head round is I believe Graham Sharkey whose father was
the village policeman and lived in the police house on Church Drive. The
last person in the group (5th) is John Barr
