Objects of Substance- The Grammar Gym Bag

versions hold a place in the heart of, not only those athletically minded Grammar girls from the 1960s and ‘70s, but also every girl who needed to transport the togs, the towel, the gym tunic, the sandshoes every week of her Grammar life. Perhaps a not so nostalgic memory is those times when one opened the gym bag on a Sunday evening only to have forgotten the wet swimming togs and towel from the previous week!
