Hello fellow scaffs, I am new to this site and was wondering if there are any members out there who were at Bircham Newton around 1990-1992. I was there myself on a cecol course my group number was S82. A few of the lads who were there were Mick Benn, Scott Harrison, Scott muir, To name a few. Just wondering if anybody is a member from them days.
