Remembrance Sunday on TV

When I was at CH, I remember one of our Remembrance Sunday services being broadcast on TV - I think it would have been in 1989 or 1990, and probably shown on the BBC. Leonard Cheshire was the "guest speaker", and he talked for far longer than he was supposed to; I thought it was all quite ...

I do wonder if OBs in general are actually hearing about these events if the school has lost touch and they haven't found this site. I cannot imagine that CHA is messaging all OBs on Friends Reunited. I found out about this forum after Julian contacted all the OBs on Friends Reunited, so there's an...

Thanks for the help; I received my tickets/timetable through the post today. One interesting thing is that they said they'd be posting a list of attendees on the CHA website (to make it easier to arrange reunions), although you can opt out of that by emailing them.

I'll be heading down to CH on Old Blues Day, and I sent in my registration form a few weeks ago, but I haven't had anything sent back; has anyone else received tickets (or whatever the SAE is for) yet, or is that all still pending? Also, I see that the CH Association website refers to Evensong, whic...

I started out in the old swimming pool, although I think that the diving pool had already been emptied by that point (in 1985). They had a rule that everyone had to go swimming pretty much every day until you could do a certain distance (5 lengths? 10 lengths?), and then you dropped back to once a w...

Front Row: Ed Kinnersley, Crispin Ashcroft, Ben (something) I'm guessing that would be Ben Davies, although that's just from remembering the roll-call list rather than recognising him! Actually, the weird thing about seeing those photos is how young the teachers look; I expect to see myself and the...

I left in June 1992, and I was surprised at how much the leaving service affected me. I then went back at the start of the next term (dropping my sister off), and went back to Mid A to say hi to a few people. Since then, I haven't been to any of the Old Blues Days etc., so the only time I've been ba...

Yup, I'd certainly be interested in that. As I recall, I was in the Remembrance Sunday broadcast quite a bit (since my part of the choir stalls was in the background of the camera pointed at the conductor), although I can't easily recognise myself from the clip I downloaded.
