Summary
[edit]DescriptionMemories, Tyrone County Education Committee Offices - geograph.org.uk - 1715358.jpg |
English: Memories, Tyrone County Education Committee Offices. They are located at Campsie House, Hospital Road, Omagh, and now headquarters of the Western Education and Library Board. There was always a lot of craic and things changed a lot throughout the years but and one humorous incident that comes to mind when I was there in my early working life (and there was many) is as follows. I can remember people left their cars in the car park with the keys in the ignition and this would have been in the late 1960s One them included my former boss, Mr William Boggs, Senior Maintenance Officer, and long since deceased. It was a thing that people did in those days and never gave it a second thought; after all who would come in and steal your car? After several incidents in the town in the early part of the troubles, people started to get more security concious, and a memo was circulated round the office with recommendations including the taking of measures when car parking. There was a fire drill for the offices and the assembly point was in the assembly hall of the adjoining Omagh High School and Mr Boggs organised the drill. This necessitated us going through the gate at the rear of the premises and past a row of parked cars, including Mr Bogg's car, which was not locked and had the keys in the ignition and some one noticed this and took the keys and went over to the hall with the intention of giving them to its owner, who was deeply engrossed in his "Captain Mainwaring" role. However this nameless person happened to have a yarn with several bright sparks from our department and mentioned the fact that he had the car keys, so planning a bit of devilment and when the drill was over, they came back through to the offices and past the then chief's office (Mr Andy Gibson) and anonymously placed the keys on his desk with a note giving a clue as to their owner. Mr Boggs was quickly summonsed to see the chief and when he came back to the maintenance office he was livid and we were all trying to keep straight faces. He did his best to find out the culprit, and I suppose that none of us were guiltless but there was a conspiracy of silence and he never did find out.
Some changes in Campsie House from when the Fleming family lived there, in the attached link are: A, attic window removed, B, former stained glass window over staircase, C, porch with veranda removed, and re-built section after bomb in early part of the troubles http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/lh/photo/TfLuNQ0Pfe9iZSd1HqSlhQ?feat=directlink |
