Hi Paul

 

I think we passed briefly in the Asda once.

In your list of names above at least three others are sadly no longer with us.

I missed the reunion at the Embassy but a few of us get together just before Christmas every year.

I was at Gleadless Middle till 75 and Ashleigh till 81 (including 2 year in the 6th form.

 

That list of names brings back a lot of memories and most of those I had long since forgotten. You have a far better memory than me. 

 

You (Paul) must have left Gleadless in 75 as I know all of the names you mention. I was at the match (Utd) with Paul Moss a couple of weeks back, and had some drinks with Mick Newton earlier this month. Got a Xmas card just this morning from Kev Beckwith and swapped texts with Steve Bunting a few weeks back. 

 

The last time I saw anyone as a crowd was back in 97 at the New Inn at the bottom of Gleadless Common for a 6th form reunion.

I (Jeremy) was at Ashleigh between 1972 - 1979. I remember Ron Underdown as my English Teacher ! My brother Mark Allison also went there (3 years older than me). Anyone else from my classes remember ?

(I didn't go to Ashleigh), but are you the Jeremy, brother Mark, who lived on Herding's Road, many years ago? I'm Gillian (my sister is Hilary). We lived at 6 Herding's View until we moved south when I was 7.

I went to Ashleigh between 1970 and 1977. Certainly remember Mr Underwood. I have lived in the New Forest now for over 30 years but im still a proud Yorkshire lass at heart. It’s been great reading through all these posts and recognising some names. Merry Christmas to all reading this.
