Back to school Meden Celebrates 50 Years Pupils and staff past and present recently attended the 50th anniversary of the opening of Meden School. Former teachers present included Mr Ellis, Mr Phoenix, Mrs Davies, Mr Bird and Mrs Buxton. Mrs Janet Brashaw, current Headteacher, welcomed everyone to the event which included musical entertainment provided by former pupils who played songs from the five decades the school has been open, as well as an exhibition of photos and memorabilia. There were refreshments on offer including a barbecue in the House Court. Mr Barrie Ellis, who was the first head teacher, returned to the school especially for the celebrations and spoke to a packed hall. He spoke about the changes which have taken place since the 1960s and recalled the first pupil to walk down the school path, who he was reunited with at the anniversary celebrations He paid tribute to the two deputy head teachers who were appointed with him in 1965, Mr Sid Thompson and Mrs Kate Spiers, both of whom have since passed away.

He also recalled the two caretakers during his time as Head as well as the first Chair of school governors, Alderman William Foster. Mr Ellis, now 88, told how new buildings were built as the school population grew from 600 to 1500 children in the 1970s and the fight he had with the education department at County Hall who wanted to implement an open plan design which he said he managed to alter. He said ‘I always tried to teach pupils the value of courtesy and respect; and spoke of the schools links with the community Mrs Brashaw presented the former Headteacher with a plaque of the old and new school badges, which Mr Ellis said would have pride of place in his home On Friday 17th July a time capsule was planted at the front Elliott joins the GB Team of the school and on the last day of term there was a mass balloon launch.

Come and see us on the Forestry Commission stand where you can take part in some activities related to Viking Age Nottinghamshire. This summer’s Discover King John’s Palace project at Kings Clipstone organised by the Sherwood Forest Trust and Mercian Archaeological Services was a great success with many local people finding out about this important site. A lot of folk were getting their first taste of archaeology by digging shovel pits into the plough soil at five metre intervals. These pits help map the palace site through analysis of the spread of pottery and demolition rubble. If you are interested in taking part in an archaeological excavation there will be several ways that you can get involved over the next year. Watch this space as we have an exciting project coming soon! Some diary dates for this autumn.

Parish Councillor Adrian Hardy, said; “It would be wonderful to see this lasting tribute paid to Sgt Bye, which is long overdue. “Since the inner relief road was opened in the late 70s it has never had a name, some people call it Church Street and others Mansfield Road. “There are no properties on this stretch of road so it would not inconvenience anyone.” Consultations are currently under way with Mansfield District Council who are responsible for the renaming of roads and an update will be given to Parish Councillors at the September meeting Sgt Bye was awarded the VC on 31st July 1917 for his actions at the Yser Canal, Belgium He showed courage and devotion to duty during an attack on the enemy’s position in the third battle of Ypres, where he accounted for 70 of the enemy. He received the VC from King George V on 27th September 1917, and upon receiving the honour, he was reported to have said: “I am proud of the honour conferred upon me, but I only went out to France to do what millions of others are doing, my duty. In honouring me you are honouring my comrades out in France, for they all did well that day.” Born in Wales, he came to live in Warsop in 1925 with his wife, Mabel, and they had two sons and two daughters. He worked at Warsop and Welbeck collieries and was also a temporary constable at Mansfield and took an active part in British Legion activities and served as a marshal for Remembrance Day parades during the 1930s. He died at his daughter’s home in Warsop in 1962 aged 72, and was buried in Warsop Cemetery with full military honours. Sgt Bye is still proudly remembered by his old regiment where his VC and group of medals are on display at the Guards Museum, Wellington Barracks, London.
