Following the Fives tournament on OSB Day, John Wilkinson (FS 68-73) has sent in some photos remembering fives events during his time at school. “The first Fives picture was taken in 1973 when we played 60 hours of fives, nonstop, between the six of us. The picture shows, from left to right, John Wilkinson, Peter Rushforth (FS 70-75), Peter Eadie (FN 69-75), Michael Chisholm (FS/AC 70-75) and Simon Johnson (FS 70-73). Richard Hird (FS 68-73) was the sixth person, but he was playing cricket at the time the picture was taken. The newspaper article details the event. The Guinness Book of Records occasion with Martyn Sayer and myself, took place in 1975. Both events were held at the school.”
