Teacher of Technology
Mr Elmer "Head of Technology" until 2005. He single handidly ran the electronics department, and had the job of bossing Mr Fitton and Mr Gray around. Considered one of the best electronics teachers in the region, if not the country, Mr Elmer had a unique approach to teaching, if you didn't want to learn, he didn't teach you. Admitidly, this meant that his sets often got a lower grade average than they could have, but he really didn't care.
Abuse Policy
Another of Mr Elmers unique policies was the "Whatever you do to my workshop, I'll do to you" promise. Simply put, if you nailed something into a bench, you'd get something nailed into you. Needless to say, room 61 is one of the cleanest rooms in the school.
However, this brought rise to an interesting question; "What would happen if I was to twiddle one of the knobs on the equipment", however no-one dared to find out.
Assemblies
Guitar. As soon as you saw an amp on the stage, you knew you were in for a fun assembly. Sure, he couldn't sing, but who cares? He got the point across, and that's all that really matters.
Oh, and he brought his dog in once aswell.
Dissapearence
In September 2005, BRGS students returned after the summer holiday, only to find that the tech department's most valuable asset wasn't there. This made a lot of people very unhappy (and was widely regarded as a bad move). A year later, and there is still no clear reason as to why he has never returned, however it seems more and more likely that he was forced to retire.
