We had a mutual agreement, we wouldn’t tell on him , he wouldn’t tell on us :hehe:
I remember Hobbs. I think that he went on an Antarctic expedition with Vivian Fuchs in the Fifties. I seem to recall him showing us a film of him there. Bit of a character although there were a few at the time I was there. Pedro Welch and his brother, Edgar, who would walk down the corridors shouting "Gangway, Naval Officer" and any kid who got in the way would get a smack across the head!! Happy Days!
St Peters for my Infant and Junior Schools.

Remember all of them and your right about Hobbs showing the film of him on that trip.
Can you remember Edgar chinning brother Augustine, in an argument about his brother ??
How old are you, won’t ask your name as some don’t like giving it out on here, but where did you live at the time

Re: Messageboard Member’s Schools
Was at St Illtyd's 1959-64 so always at the Splott site. Lived in Roath. Don't recall the incident but I wish the same had happened to Bro. Claude. Grade A sadist imo.

For my sins my schooling was St.Josephs Infants, De La Salle Juniors and then St.illtyds (one year in Splott followed by Rumney). I too remember those teachers. Wasn’t Jack Hobbs Antarctic explorer mate Wally Herbert?
I don’t recall the Brother Augustine/Edgar Welch incident but do recall that a pupil nutted Augustine aka ‘Block Head’ or have I made that up?!

I think “block head” was brother Adrian, and KM, from Cathays whacked him with a sock full of golf balls

The nearest pub to St Illtyds hasn’t had a mention yet......The Witla Court, an old mansion house on the Witla Court estate which was a pub from the 60s to the 80s, demolished now.

Ah yes your correct Block Head was Brother Adrian! I agree and I should know you. I had an elder brother three years ahead of me if that’s a clue.

I was only in St.Joe’s for a year but I remember the names as mentioned. Francis’s father was a police officer, same as my father was. Kevin was a bit of a lad as I recall and Peter Scully I remember. Lots of others, Keith Chadwick, Michael Dee, Dodger Wright, Verdun Thorne.......I could go on. :hehe:
