Anyone go to the Gregg School in Broomhill 1952/1955?

I am trying to reply to a post by SNOWBALL72 regarding a reunion on the 27th April but am confused by the system which says I should have 5 posts before sending a reply. ?

Must be old age and poverty. I hope this is a way of replying. Unfortunately I am likely to be away at that time but if not perhaps I can make a late booking. I hope this reaches Snowball.

Hello Averil. You will see from the previous post that confusion reigns in my use of social

media. I have no problem in giving my email address as most of the world seems to have it (including ladies with some odd ideas about my private life). It is................

I hope this reaches you.

We all had a great day at the Reunion, a big thank you to all that attended. It was fun naming the 'pupils' who hadn't met for almost 60 years. I believe the next one will be in 2019. If anyone is interested in attending the next one please PM me with name an e mail.

Thanks Peter Hallam

Sorry to repeat the question but does anyone know why Gregg went out of business?

 

Did it just go bust?

[snowball72 10]

The simple answer is yes. Taken over by Rankin and Sutherland they could not save it. What year did you leave?

I was 12/13 the year I was there so that would be 1960. In my class was John Hudson, Richard Swinscoe, thats all the names I remember. Also Lorna Brader.

 

My father worked got a job in the Foreign Office and we all went off to Burma. I cant say I was there long enough to form any lasting relationships or indeed lasting memories.

 

I do remember Arnold, Rankin and Sutherland, my form teacher was a blonde young woman.The games teacher was Midgely? also a rather sinister chap Fuchs?

Hi and thanks for getting back to me.

I was there from 1961-65.I do indeed remember Richard Swinscoe,John Hudson & Lorna Brader rings a bell, but i dont recall how she looked .You must have been the year ahead of me.

Do you remember Bert,(Mr . Trendall ?).He taught us English & Geography for awhile,

Rankin,Sutherland & Fuchs. formed the backbone of the school after Arnold "vanished "(almost) overnight.and over the remaining years, they were supported by teachers to complement a full range of subjects to GCE & RSA standards.

Hi Peter - are you in touch with the people mentioned? Averil

[peterhallam 10]

Hi Averil

My contacts at the moment are Paul Cotterill,David Cowley,Micheal Turnidge,& hopefully soon , I may have leads to Richard Borkett,& John Fletcher.Ishall keep you posted.Did I mentin previously that I met a guy called Ian Drake ,who was a pupil 1953-1958?. If anyone else knows him,I could possibly locate him as well.

[billhaley 10]

I have a feeling that Ian Drake was in the same year as me, his years at the school are more or less the same as mine were.

[peterhallam 10]

Hi Bill Hayley

Thank.s for your reply.When I next have the opportunity,to meet Ian Drake, I will enlighten him of our new link up & the 2016 group.

Kind regards Peter Hallam .
