Hello fellow Niton Village members. We have a request from Robert Trowbridge, regarding some of his schoolboy memories, and wondered if anyone remembers any of the named.
"I`ve recently been discussing with a few friends, our memories of Niton in the 1960s. As you know, I was a St. Lawrence boy, and used to travel to Carisbrooke Grammar every schoolday with fellow pupils from Niton, e.g. Joan Morrell (Niton Chemists), the Peters boys, Linda Eldridge, Jimmy Fleming, etc. Outside of school I tended to socialise at Niton, rather than Ventnor, due to those friendships. That included membership of the Badminton Club (frequented by the Norris family), and a youth club at the top of Barrack Shute. A name I remember from the youth Club was Dave Small. I wonder if any of the group followers remember those days? Regards, Bob."
