Re: Hertford to Horsham
re: Alcohol It was a last minute thought as I was about to go to bed last night! The Grecian's Club was a revelation to me. I've never been a drinker, even as a teenager, but the Grecian's Club introduced me to Babycham and on the eve of my 18th birthday I was not very sober... I had a rehearsal on ...

Re: Hertford to Horsham
Of course, for me the discovery of the theatre also had a long lasting impact. We had no such facilities at Hertford and I don't really remember much theatrical activity in the main hall, other than a reading & recitation competition and house singing! The discovery of the theatre cost me my A ...

Re: Hertford to Horsham
Hi guys - thanks for the concern. Mum (Frances) is still around - reading but not contributing so much! As for the transition from Hertford to Horsham, I don't have the amazing memory that so many of you seem to have. I think I preferred Horsham but as I was 16 in 1985 it was as much to do with the ...

Re: We are chameleons....
a.k.a. Simon Darcy - he was a few years below me... played a "gene" in Bodywork when I was the "appendix" in 1987! He was also Gollum in the in the Lamb B house play.

Re: TWO deaths : Betty Jukes and Jean Taverner
Forgive my poor memory, I was not in the choir, I did not play the organ and wasn't terribly musical at all, but was Jean Taverner at Hertford up to 1985? If so, then I think it was her who introduced Taize music to us... For me, this began a lifelong enchantment with Taize including 2 trips in the ...

Re: Do You Still Appear in Public in a Swimsuit ?
http://www.yle.fi/uutiset/news/2011/06/saunalab_sauna_through_the_eyes_of_artists_2637030.html back to swimsuits in public.... the rule in sauna is that swimsuits are NOT permitted, however, I sincerely hope that's a rule to be overlooked in this particular sauna. I've seen it, it's next to the art ...

Re: The Pedant's Revolt
Not at all, Neill. At Hertford for many generations there was outside the swimming pool a mangle which was used to wring out swimming costumes. The mangle was still there in 1972. We await Maria's comment with interest. Sorry for the long wait! YES, the mangle was still there in 1985! Hmmm seems th...

Re: Do You Still Appear in Public in a Swimsuit ?
Not only do I wear my swimsuit in public - open air pool opened last week and already been 3 times - I also sauna naked in the attached facilities... against the rules not to. Also open changing rooms (not mixed! but no cubicles) so it all hangs out in the showers & dressing rooms, too. I am not...

Re: Old Blues Day
to cheer you all up it was hailing here today (May Day - big holiday) and snow is predicted for Tuesday.... the day I was planning to go to the open air pool for the first time this year (therefore my fault).

Re: Old Blues Day
Ha Ha!! my younger sister's there too, so I seriously hope not! Actually I'm a little jealous... my mother & sister have gone to see my favourite band without me!
Show of Hands at Rochester Castle - should be a great show (assuming the weather's ok). Just a bit too far for me to travel.

Re: Old Blues Day
Maybe it was my mum - Frances! She did say she'd met you! She's the same era as Kerren!
However today she has gone to a Folk Festival, so can't confirm til later

Re: Plates
Each form below the VI form had 2 Form Captains. There were quite a few of both of these. Only a small point - surely there was only one Form Captain per form? Elected the first Form Time of term! Foureyes - what was this RAF Foundationers badge, that it should show "naughty bits"? Sounds...
