On leaving school I joined the Old Students Association. From that time I remember a few names on the committee. Fred Whale, Ken Smith, Audrey Gornall and Eileen Larner. Reunions and an annual dance were always on the agenda. Interest was beginning to fail for several reasons, notably because the John Hampden had their own Old Boys association. The OSA folded and for many years there was nothing for the "Old Tech".

I was passionate about our wonderful school and so on 1966 I arranged a reunion for my class in my house. From that successful day I held occasional reunions. I and a friend managed to contact all but one of the girls and we organised a reunion every two years in hotels and pubs enjoying a nice meal each time. I am 80 now and feel unable organise any more. However, good friendships were made and still exist. The girls were very much a part of our amazing school and should be recorded in it's history.I
