 This
game was legendary during the 6th form year of around 1988-89. A
basic table top coin game that was a cross between football and
rugby. I had no idea anyone had written any "rules" until
these landed on my desktop, but they do differ slightly from my
recollection ..... Once the goal had been scored, the scorer had a chance
for a conversion, which consisted of spinning the coin and trying to stop
it between your thumbs and then catapult it over the other player's hands,
which were now upright to form makeshift rugby posts. Either way,
this game was played for many hours. |

 The Coat of Arms from above the main
entrance.Much mystery surrounds the disappearance of the coat of arms. One rumor is that it was bought from the developers by an ex-pupil who has yet to make him/her self known to the Wellington-Web. At least it has been returned in photographic form. |

 The dreaded
school run around Bebington. The route is in red, with the popular short cuts in
green. The main short cut took you post a cemetery, through the Oval's grounds,
behind the stadium. I (Mike Hopwood) can recall doing this every Friday lunchtime
for about 2 years with Robbo. Steve 'Wongy' Wong and myself always finished miles
behind everyone else. Happy days !!!! |
