just got back from a trip to sibford penn house has not changed a bit in 20 years externaly , mind you the inside is a great improvement .The swimming pool also looks good . well done for starting this group, see you

Upstairs has changed slightly as there is no big dorm at the end of the house anymore.

Still have memories of the fifth formers covering the corridor in drawing pins, hoping someone would go to the toilet and get a rather rude awakening.
Unfortunatly for them I was awake at the time and grabbed my torch and picked them all up afterwards...

I also remember on windy nights when the curtains would blow in the breeze... even though the windows were shut...

SWIMMING POOL!!?!!
I was there from 85-89 an we 'ad ta sleep on roof an 'ave hot gravel for breakfast!
If we were really bad we had eggy bread!

I was there from 1975-1980 with Mr Walaton aka nackers as house master can’t remember the right spelling. I remember the big dorm not to mention the small one opposite to the fifth year dorm i was in both. But one thing has stuck in my mind and that is the ice that used to form on the inside of the windows at night!
