Thank you Chris for arranging this. For anyone interested I made a short video on the day which follows on from the CH video I made a few years ago "Revisiting my traumatic past" https://youtu.be/-eX-ztGHapI?si=MBrqtMtNYOKr7zIi

AMP- you were punched in the face repeatedly until the House Captain broke his wrist??? What??? Sounds like Nazi Germany or a Gulag rather than a school in Sussex in the 90s! Your face must have been a bl**dy mess by the time he broke his wrist. What did matron, other masters, less sadistic ...

I feel so excited and privileged that we are about to start this. So many of us suffered alone for years. I hope this next group is a healing experience for all.

Hi and Happy New Year,
I’m really pleased to announce that we are planning a 2nd self help group (SHG) to start in February. The first SHG went really well, beyond expectations, and there are some people who’d like to repeat the group, and others who couldn’t join the first time, but would like to ...

A big thanks to you Rob for all your perseverance in this.

I visited CH over the summer to see if it would trigger my PTSD again, and I made a video of my experience in case it's of benefit to anyone else who has been avoiding visiting.

2) I also, like some others, often went without food, and ...

Thanks Chris for this. I have spoken with Lia, and thought she did a very good job of listening. I'd like to pass on the message to other Old Blues, is there a website link we can refer them to?

In Peele B between 1987-89 (and possibly 90), crackings (as I seem to remember calling them) were common. I remember there being 3 types:
1) The staff on duty (although I only remember Flemming doing it) would administer them in the dormitory in front of the the other boys. Mr. Flemming would ask ...

HI, did anyone manage to do this?
If not, I have facilities to do this, and would also love to be able to get a copy (I think I was a drummer that year in the retreat).

Hah, amusingly I was just listening to this, and I wondered whether copies had ever leaked online. :) Apparently not reliably, so here's a link...

If anyone cares, the information on Grecians2001 is pretty ...
