Welcome to the Guestbook
Feel free to add messages relating to the site and the school. The only rules are: real names only, no personal attacks and no unrelated messages (inappropriate messages may be edited/withdrawn without warning).

It would be appreciated if you gave an email address, where you now live and said when you were at the school, but you don't have to.

Plase note that if you click on an email address below you will need to replace ~DOT~ with . and ~AT~ with @ in your email program. The Guestbook presents these this way to avoid email address harvesters collecting your email addresses from the page. I know it's a pain, but it's very much better than the alternative.

Hi Mike

Just read all about the school dining room and thought I would let Alex know that he has been let down: I’m afraid that on this occasion the collective memory which seems ensure some old boys remember everything hasn’t worked. I’m sorry to say I can hardly help at all. I always went home for lunch apart from three or four days when the family was in chaos after my grandmother died – she had spent her last few weeks living with us. I was despatched for school meals and can recall being completely lost as everyone else seemed to know each other and the regular routine of the dining hall which, unlike Alex, I never managed to mix up with the national service variety. My own recollections of the latter – which I can clearly remember – is of a great barn of a building which seemed to cover half of Hampshire.
