The Last Day of Term, and Leaving New Milton, Hampshire - 18th September 1985

It's time to leave New Milton and head off to Polytechnic in Plymouth, so over a few weeks Nosher meets up with Liz in Bournemouth, goes round to see Jon the Hair at his parents' place on Old Milton Road, shares a final few beers with the gang round the gaff at Ford Cottage in Barton and has a belated birthday lunch with Phil over in Marchwood. Then that's it - it's the end of one era and the start of another. Before that, there are a some stray photos from the last term at Brockenhurst College, including a Bed Push that Sis is in, and for which Hamish and Nosher are providing some CB Radio support, and a trip to the Forrester's Arms near the station in Brockenhurst after the last day of term.
