Reunion - '65 Year

I'm trying to organise a 50th reunion for those who attended Shoreditch between 1962-65 ('65 Year). It was requested by Mike Edwin and Dave Denford who are coming over from Australia for the event.

We have decided that the last weekend in April (27th-29th) suits best those who have to travel the farthest, namely, Oz and Canada. A hotel near Shoreditch has been approached and the date pencilled in.

I'm waiting on replies from those interested before making a confirmed booking.

Hi John,

Just to let you, and anyone else who might drop by, that my email address is now satyambhagat@hotmail.co.uk

I'm Peter Little and was in the 1965 year

Now retired from sea, but strangely working as a DT Technician at the local secondary school - so it wasn't all a waste of time

Kind regards

Peter Little satyambhagat@hotmail.co.uk

Hi Jill,

I would love to know what happened to Brian Raw - known as "Scruff" when I met him in 1966! He was at Shoreditch 1964-67 [?] and studied woodwork.

The last time I saw him was late 70's and he was married to Sheila and living in the Streatham area.

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on the great work I think you’re doing by bringing people together, sharing knowledge and keeping memories alive.

My name’s Maria and I’m contacting you from Ireland. I work in film and media and I’m researching the life and work of an English craftsman called Neal Mac Gregor who unfortunately died in Ireland 1990. I am working with a producer and a director.

Neal Mac Gregor would have studied at Shoreditch circa 1965-1967 but I’m not 100% sure about those dates. We have been in contact with 3 people that knew him from those days, but memories are blurred, and I wouldn’t mind finding more fellow students of him. I would also like to find out exactly what years he was there, but I don’t know how to. I am wondering if there’s any way in which you could help me.

Many thanks in advance.
All the best,
Maria

Hi Jill

We have just stumbled across this site and are curious!

Andy Clifford 1973 year and Richard Naylor 1973 Year, both famous for the writing and production of the erudite and appalling 'Soma Heo' newspaper in 71 + 72. Andy was a Handicraft Student and Richard one of the first cohort of General Course Students. We both enjoyed doing Drama with course tutor Geoff Dove.

Richard and I have quite a history together; eventually working as colleague for a Management Training company in the Lake District.

There are a few people we miss and are not in touch with. They include, Mike Millard, Jill Rutter, Declan Bennington, Stephan Nicholson, Nick Forest '75, John Warwick '73 (Marshall 400 who introduced me to Verdi and I am forever grateful) - we were a little odd clique lost in the maelstrom of the super Ditch cliques of Rugby, Reed 300, Football, etc.

Regards
Andy and Richard Contact details andy@abclifford.co.uk and uncledickkie@gmail.com.

Hi Jill

During a recent "clearing out session" I came across an old copy of "Bulletin 69: The Magazine of Shoreditch College Club." There were some very interesting articles (one by your father) and two by George Hicks and G. H. Wilson - both of which were very insightful for their time. Prompted by this find I have looked for, and found, the web site.There are some names I recognise there but none of my closer friends so please add my name to your list.

On leaving "Ditch" in '69 I did VSO in the West Indies. I followed this with spells teaching in Wirral, Liverpool (twice), Kiribati (Gilbert Islands) and Botswana before completing an M.Ed. and settling in for a long spell in the Teacher Education Department at University of Bolton (formerly: Bolton Institute of Higher Education). I am retired now.

I worked briefly with Dave Yarranton and made contact wth Bernie Payne a long time ago and these are the only two people I have met since leaving Shoreditch. I would be interested to hear from anyone who remembers me well.
