second from left back row is my schooldays pals dad Rueben pitcher

Second from the left back row is Reuben Pitcher he was my uncle married to Elsie Fillingham my mother's sister.

George Rudd (front row, extreme right), St Catharine's verger and school caretaker, father of Eddie who taught me in his "first class" of 1952 at St Catharines. Eddie was 21years old at the time, he also played for Horwich RMI I believe, but sadly died relatively young.

Look at the hole in that roof behind them.

John,,
back row 4th from left is my dad Jim Holding(Jem)but always referred to as Jem,,,thanks for pic not got that many of my parents,,Bob Valentine and i recognise lots of faces but cant put names to them,,maybe my sister Margaret can who cropped up the youth fellowship photo a few weeks back,,,
Ken ,,was it yourself who found some old family photos when Roy Pitcher died a couple of years back,,my parents were great friends of Reuben and Elsie indeed we spent a few family holidays together in the late fifties,,if you have I wouldnt mind a look through them to se if any showing my family are in there..

I believe it is Jack Goulding not Golding as stated above.
