Bocholt '84 Dave Bennett being greedy. 2 apprentices caught in the act on the overnight ferry crossing to Holland, guess who. One went on to develop a career as a magician. Homemade punch and  neatly arranged bottle collection. This room was normally occupied by Mal Critchley, Dave Higham, Alistair Holt & Paul Cliffe.
