Hi!
Merry Christmas!
I was a student in 75 Year at Shoreditch (English &
Drama) and would be very interested in hearing of others who were
there at that time. Names that spring to mind include Ed Hooper,
Pete Jones, Rhys Davies, Chris Miller and Sue Westall. Tutors
of mine included Campbell Matthews, Dave Thomas and Jeff Dove.

Hi Jill,
I'm trying to get in touch with Andy Price who was at Shoreditch between 1979 and 1982. I was at RHC between 1980 and 1983 and went out with Andy during my first year.
I remember that Andy was a huge John Lennon fan and wore a black armband the day John Lennon was shot - 20 years ago today !
I'd love to know what Andy's up to these days and what he did with his life etc, etc !
My name is Daisy Gill and my email address is daisygill@dragbike.com.
Many thanks,
Daisy

Well, fancy that!
How interesting to discover your site while surfing the net. There are a few names I recognise in there. I too would be interested to learn the whereabouts of Pete Bosson (69 year).
I'd also often wondered what happened to Ken Aplin (67 year) and now I have been able to e-mail him in Canada.
My name is Nigel Thornbory (68 year), so please add my name to your records.
Thanks for taking the time to create a site which has revived a few old memories!
Regards
Nigel

Hi Jill!
Thank you for creating this site, I have often wondered about old friends with whom I have lost touch and so wished there was a forum for making contact.
I am a former student of Shoreditch, 74 yr., now living in the USA and would love to hear from anyone of that time, i.e. 74 & 75.
I would love to hear news of staff, Campbell Matthews and Geoff Hartley. Old buddies, Janet Baird (married name lived in York, married Stewart Baird of the same year - I think), Mike Wilson (London), Peter Carroll (Holton le clay, Grimsby), Robert (Bob) Lambert (London), there are so many others.

Dear Jill,
I am very interested in contacting and hopefully having a reunion with anyone from 76 year. I have recently met Nigel Kemp after 20 years, we both moved to Somerset after in 1976. I have since worked abroad for 14+ years. If anyone from 76 year or even 75 or 77 year would like to get in touch please email ribchest@qatar.net.qa
I look forward to hearing from you.

My name is Robert Slack. I attended Shoreditch from 1975 until
1978. A few of us had a 20th reunion last year (John
Reay, Phil Rutt, Dave Cotterill, Nick Gair, Justin Donovan).
Steve Roberts & Malcolm Cross were contacted
but could not attend. Sadly due to the passage of time it was
difficult to contact many people from 78yr. Perhaps
your website can help so that we can perhaps have a bigger reunion
in the future ?
Thanks for an interesting website which brought back some memories
!

Hi Jill!
I graduated from Shoreditch in 1966. I am ashamed to admit
that I have forgotten the names of my Group 2 colleagues although
I can recognize them all from the 1966 grad photo hanging on my
wall!
Is there any chance, through the Shoreditch web page, to put the word out that I would love to hear from them?
They can reach me at:

or at: rkmoore@shaw.ca (note new e-mail address)
In 1996 I had the opportunity to celebrate our 30th Anniversary with a group of 'Ditch guys from my year. [Thanks John Eustace for organizing this!] However Pete Burrows and I were the only members of Group 2/1966 who attended. Where are the rest of them!!!? I include a photo of the occasion [I am bottom right]
Hope you can help!
