Gallery -   Stills & Video    

The video footage of the school and its events on YouTube were all extracted from a VHS video tape compilation loaned to me by John Blagden in Jan 2012.   The original videos were filmed and commentated by Doug Bartlett.   Sadly Doug is no longer with us.   His daughter Sarah Briscoe has granted permission for the films to be used on this site.   Thanks so much Doug and Sarah.
