In November 2007 I was asked to go through the school's archives 'looking for material suitable for an exhibition to celebrate the school's 125th anniversary in September, 2008. Target date for completion - the end of term July, 2008'.
Well, I did it - just. Here are the results. During the project it became clear that there were two situations in which the exhibition might be used. These meant that two versions were necessary, one half the size of the original. Here are the themes for the exhibition:
|
Buildings (two boards) |
Aston's Culture Club* (two boards) Sport* (two boards) |
* Included in the 'short' version
** They banned this one!
