Congratulations on this latest step, and good luck on the next bit! You must let us know the result!

Of Course, of course, I am not giving up hope just yet.

But I musn't raise them too high now

Of course, you had better watch out for Mr Holdsworth if you get in...

What do you mean
Who is he and what does he teach ?
Oh dear, is he a terrrible tyrant of unimaginable proportions?

He's my father!

He's an English teacher but only teaches up to GCSE but he is involved in Admissions, head of cricket, and in charge of exams...
Mum is deputry housemistress of Coleridge B and runs the tuck shop!

I see. I don't think I'll have him as my teacher if I get in, I'm a little too old. lol
It's great they're so involved with school life, you can see it just makes me want to join more

How is everyone today?

He also has a very good sense of humour - if slightly odd...

Plus, he's an Old Blue himself, making Matt (G.P.) a second Generation OB!!!

That's cool in my book...

Based on what I've already seen, an "odd sense of humour' is nothing out of the ordinary, and certainly not by CH's tendency towards the eccentric

But I am not saying that your all mad as hatters, on the contrary you appear to be a fairly logical bunch
Second Generation OBs, does this happen often?

I think it does - my family runs to three generations, I am sure we are not unique! My father and my aunt, then my brother and myself and the latest was my niece who was in the generation that moved from Hertford to Horsham at the merger.

Interestingly my aunt, my niece and I were all in the same house at Hertford, but my father was in Mid B and my brother in Thornton B.

Yes - she was in my year!

I would watch out for Mr Leadbeater...although if you have done something wrong you will kow as he has a look (and i should know seeing as he is my dad!) really he is a softy

well it doesn't look like there's much chance now so, I shan't worry about that. Might be a good idea to pass all this info onto Urgh My Pancreas

It does happen - there was a girl on my year, Pip Gwyn who was taught by Dad on her squits. At the Parents evening, he met her father, Dominic Gwyn who was at CH at the same time as Dad and they hadn't seen each other for 20 years!

Wow, that's a very long gap, so much catching up to do.
massively surprised by the effectiveness of internet communication for old blues. My school doesn't have so much as a newsletter for old pupils.
Even Lily Cole denies she ever went there

Who is Lily Cole?

Should I know?

Apologies if famous woman of intellect . I should know...
