A report on this event can be read here. It was a good do, though the remorseless, year on year, decline in numbers is depressing.

Despite overwhelming apprehension on my part, the first HAT appears to have gone down a storm at school with the seven lads who turned up. This got back very quickly to the Head, who has asked if he can come along!

Many of those who have seen the portrait of L G Brandon which hangs in the Library ('Big School' to many of us) think it is absolutely crap. Though not expressed as crudely, so does the Brandon family. It seems obvious, therefore, that an attempt should be made to do another one before the living memory of him fades. So I have asked one of my contemporaries, John Perfect, to have a go at a 'New Brandon Portrait'. To see his first efforts click here.

Jubilee Boulevard opened

(Let your mouse hover over a photograph for details)

A small group, mainly of the school's Governors, gathered in the early evening to witness the opening of the Jubilee Boulevard by AOE Brian Roberts. This had been created to celebrate the school's 125th anniversary of opening, and had been made possible by donations from the Foundation and an AOE who probably wishes to remain anonymous.
