Brockenhurst College Presentation and Christmas, Hampshire - 19th December 1985

It's the certificate presentation following the summer's A-level exams, at Brockenhurst College in the heart of the New Forest. The event is preceeded by a mini reunion and a bit of stick game in the Forrester's Arms near the railway station, and a trip to Nicholas Gossip - the camera shop - in New Milton in order to hire a 135mm Vivitar lens for the occasion. Later, old school friend Helen Marsh comes to visit, and there are various trips to pubs in the area.
