GRAHAM Speak - the schoolboy gymnast pictured hurtling over his Turton County Secondary School classmates in April, 1967 - was delighted to see the photograph in Looking Back.

It brought back fond memories of his gym classes.

"I wasn't any good at owt else," he tells me.

"We had a great teacher back then, Mr Ian Briggs, who really cared about us and spent time teaching us many gym-related things.

"We used to perform at various fetes and garden shows in the Lancashire area."

Mr Speak - whose e-mail address is graham@rioja. free-online.co.uk - wonders if anybody has any news about Mr Briggs.
