A55 in September 2008

| As I mentioned to you earlier in the year I organised a reunion for the 'Old Boys' from A55 this month to celebrate our 30th anniversary.
Of the original 12 who completed the course I managed to get nine of us back together (no mean feat!) for an overnighter at Wood Norton Hall last Saturday (September 13th). |

| Only Martin Brown and Graham are still employed by the BBC. Joe and Neil are with Siemens and the rest of us are staff/freelance at various other places.
We had a very hospitable reception at what was the BBC club in Evesham and Jamie (the manager) has mentioned that all old boys are more than welcome. The staff at WN Hall were also very accommodating and a good time was had by all.....even the weather stayed fine! We plan to get together again in 5 years time and hope that we loose no one else in the meantime. Craig Russell sadly passed away in 2005. |
