Doesn't say the purpose of the contact reason on Page 25.

Hi Chairboy, Thanks a lot for the info. I have just sent an email to Derek Sellers. How have the floods treated you? We have been experiencing the same thing is this area of Australia, but fortunately we live a fair distance away.

Personally, no problems. As someone said: "If we were to have problems, we'd all be under!" I'm nearing 60 and it's true to say I have never witnessed such torrents. People in certain areas have seen their homes ruined. Middlewood and parts of Heeley were bad, people lost power and others have had cuts to build up supplies. The Wednesday ground was flooded and then the problem worked down the Don valley with areas of Rotherham and Doncaster affected. Tomorrow is forecast to be dry but other than that, heavy showers is the norm and they are causing headaches at Wimbledon. Here are some links of the floods. Thought it was an e-mail, sorry, there is a special section on the floods.

Hello Gosling, my mum went to Abbeydale Girls Grammar School from 1941 - 1947. Her maiden mane was Barbara Dickinson, and she says she can remember a June Gosling. She was in 5B and in her last year her form teacher was Miss Moore. If that is you, please PM me and I will give you my email address, as my mom lives here with me.

Hi Chairboy, Would love to be there even though I was in Fry house. Hope everyone has a wonderful time. By the way what is your connection with Abbeydale Girl's Grammar School ?

None, other than a few tenuous links having been involved in education in the city for several years. Knowing former pupils, as we all travelled by bus etc then (no school runs!) and others who may have later become colleagues.

This school is becoming an enigma to me. I went to AGGS from 1954 to 1958 leaving at the end of 4th year to go to work instead of staying on for the GCE. (Went to night school instead - did advanced English successfully). I have tried contacting several classmates and no-one ever answers. It's almost as if the school never existed. I recently read one comment "there's not many of us left now!" written by an older AGGS attendee and I am concerned. Are there any of you out there?

There are still some out there. My Mum went there from 1953 to 1958.

I know Lynda Pasini (nee Frith) and am sure she went there in the mid to late 50's ~ now lives in Geneva, Switzerland.
