Frank passed away on Mon 14 Oct 2019. He was believed to be 95 or 97. His funeral will take place at Skipton Crematorium on Mon 28 Oct @ 11:40hrs.

Frank Wellock was an old boy and prefect of the school, who, upon leaving, gained his Diploma in Physical Education from Carnegie and a Board of Education Teachers Certificate, which enabled him to return to school as a teacher of physical education in the 1940's.
He was idolised by our current President Joe McDowell in his school days and Frank played fly-half when Joe was scrum half. Frank went on to play for Skipton & Otley.
(hopefully more details of his life will be forthcoming to add to this article).
