Hi Chris
My wife, Diane, was looking on the ballet web sites and came across you name.
I don’t know if you remember me – my name is Clive Flint – Tom Flint’s brother from Darfield and I was at Barnsley Grammar School with Mick. We lived on Snape Hill Road.
We now live in Salisbury. I have just retired from lecturing at Southmpton University. We have two children and two grandchildren.
I would love to hear from you some time. My wife is a great lover of ballet and was planning to take our granddaughter, Bethany, to the ballet in London hence her coming upon your name.
With regards
Clive Flint
