hi Ron,this brings back memories,I had 3 of them and they could be anywhere now.The background colour was your house colour and mine was red for Dalton house.Thanks for the memory.

Hi Dave well you told me something I didn't know.(That's a rarity in itself L.O.L.) I thought they were just the school colours Yellow and Black

You're welcome,Ron,the other two colours were probably blue and yellow.There was Dalton,Faraday and maybe Newton and Stephenson in House names.I wasn't an exceptional athlete but I had a place in the school relay team.We were unbeatable because we had a perfect and well rehearsed baton change over procedure that knocked many seconds off the time.

Hi Dave I was in Brunel House colour BROWN...... There was also Wren, whose colour was yellow.

Was there not a Crompton House?? (Light Blue I think)

Brunel rings a bll,Ron.

I was in Harvey House - won bugger all, we were all smokers!!

I think Harvey Colour was purple

Cheers chuff,it's all coming back.

I was in Rutherford but I cannot remember the house colour. I have one of these medals and the background colour is green.

Ron,was Stephenson not yellow?

There were 8 houses. I remember all but one of them. Thus: Newton (light blue),
Faraday (dark blue), Stephenson (light green), Dalton (dark green), Wren (yellow),
Brunel (brown), Harvey (maroon), Red (???).

Re above, missing house name was Rutherford (red).

They were grand house names after people of substance. I was in Brunel but we never seemed to win anything while I was there 1958-63. Was never really taken by the colour brown.
