Our new site for OB News has now been running for two months and thanks for the feedback so far.

I was half expecting someone to ask me if they can post comments on here. I haven’t yet discovered how to achieve this but I am not yet convinced it is a good idea to nudge the site towards the Facebook model. You are very welcome to make comments on anything you see here, and send them to me in a message. I can then make an editorial decision about whether, and how to publish these comments.

A reminder that our original website (www.bhchs.co.uk) will continue to be used for archiving, and to hold the database which has details of when you were at BHCHS and other details. We’d love to keep in contact with all former pupils so if you think I may not have your current email address please contact me. Also, if you know of others who may not be in our network please direct them here.

Summer Reunions

Written by

Is it something to do with our scorching summer? I keep hearing about reunions happening. Robert Wilson (1966) told me about an unconventional idea he and his mates enjoyed recently….

Robert writes…..

I last emailed you in 2023 after Nigel Salter, Robert Hunter, Adrian Ayley and I had met together for the first time in over 20 years – when you told us that GGSK was about to close. 

We met again last month to mark what, in a few months, will be the 60th anniversary of our induction in the playground standing before another new boy, HAC, who I remember addressing us on the steps outside the hall on a sunny morning in September 1966.

Since 2023 Adrian, who has spent the last 40 years living and working in France, has acquired a new 74′ narrow boat which he berths at Droitwich in the West Midlands. We took up his offer of a few days together on the boat, ‘Llygoden Yr Afon’.
