In the field to the right, as you looked out from the front of the school, on a pleasant summer evening, Big P used to hit golf balls from the top of the hill. At the bottom of the hill would be a herd of jubs, all with buckets, attempting to catch the balls! At the time, I used to think this was brilliant, especially as you got some money (a shilling?) if you caught a golf ball in your bucket. Reflecting on this activity, and as a parent now, I'm not sure that I would be too understanding on hearing that my child had suffered multiple injuries due to golf ball impact.

 

My brother Mike also reminded me of the time that he and his chums used to go fishing - from History dorm! They used to hook the Koi carp that were in the pond below. They also used to shoot the bull in the field opposite with an air rifle. And they used telescopic sights to hit it in the nuts. 

 

Anyone remember all of this?
