Talk:Hymers College

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Woah. Major work needed here! I've inserted the table and corrected the intro. I'll upload a picture later and see if I can dig up some more historical facts. I'm sure there's load of stuff we can say. Wiki-Ed 15:20, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Too much information on ACF detachment?

Does anyone else think that this has got way too much information on the cadets? All the information makes it look like Hymers is a military school. All that is needed is the single sentence that is already under the 'Hymers today' section:

Unlike most independent schools who have a CCF (Combined Cadet Force) unit, Hymers has its own ACF (Army Cadet Force) detachment (Hymers College ACF Detachment).' Who's up for a deletion of this topic? RocketRocketRocketShip 17:15, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

If I recall correctly from my "Hymers - The First 100 Years" book, up until the 1970s the CCF was compulsory. You could edit the topic quite a bit, but I think deleting it as a sub-heading would be taking it too far. The real problem is the comparative lack of detail on the school in general.

Yes, I agree, it seems like a major chunk of the article - could at least move below the Hymers today section, and IMHO could do with a little shortening. I have a copy of First 100, but it's packed in a box...will have to dig it out sometime to confirm the Wiki-Ed comment. --Fraz 09:22, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
