In the early days of the training school facilities at Risley were limited and apprentices from SRC Daresbury, Laportes and Crosfields accompanied the UKAEA apprentices to Winfrith for the 1st year craft training.

A lot of new material has now surfaced for the Winfrith section, so until I can structure the page a little better I shall splatter it all below.
| Egdon Hall Here's a view of Egdon hall with what looks like the apprentice accommodation unit on the right. From accounts I've received breakfast and evening meals were partaken of in the building that resembles an airfield control tower on the left which would account for the early morning dash for bacon sarnies. |

| Time for a night out
Pete Humphreys, Steve Aspden, John Hankin and Phil Ditchfield in the dormitory prior to night out in Weymouth winter '65. The beer mats stuck around walls each represented one day of our stay - in those days we wanted to get home to girlfriends and mates - as each day passed one mat was taken down. |

The Escape Party
We regularly hired this mini bus and its driver, Maurice his name was I think, to take a group of home for the weekend. At the time we were not too happy down there. It's only after the event we realised how much the time in Weymouth helped us form a great camaraderie. Back row left to right, Maurice the driver, Roger (Alf) Hind, me John Hankin, Paul Sinclair, Ray Charnock. Front row left to right, Ken Green, Bill Brown, Jim Summers (now no longer with us) and the odd one out from either Winfrith or Harwell whose name escapes me. |
