The Silly Fakirs '56 (or something like that we were called!). Real fire, real nails, no padding. From the left: Mike Barrett or P G Clarke, Steve Phillips, Ken Sinden standing on Mike Dixon, and 'Frankie' Lane
Pole Squat '56. I made the pole, and persuaded Les Arnett to sit on it all morning. (This I tore out from the local paper, there is an advert on the back for a Bungalow priced at £750!)
RagMagsWorcs 56 (or may be later) Mike Dixon with no trousers (I was co-opted at very short notice),Dave something in the so'wester, Gerry Evans in the bowler, Ken Sinden with the pole and I think John Mills, with bowler, is on the far right. (The bowlers were from a year earlier when the apprentices decided that the college uniform should include a bowler.)
