Best Quad Decor by the leavers?

Anything that doesn't fit anywhere else, but that's still CH related.

why not decorate the Garnde Quad? ;)

and if everyone did something, they wouldn't send everyone home?

I like your logic, GP! Although you might need to send everyone out with maps to find the Garnde Quad. I don't remember where that was ....

If I was close that little piece of pedantry disguised as humour would warrant a punch in the arm, not that I condone violence or anything.

Several things on this thread spring to mind:

1. Being sprung from my dorm by some Grecian girls from Barnes A (God Bless Them!) on my LE to witness the 'last night', and seeing Gladings' mini get the treatment.

2. The effect of the 'Stonehenge' wardrobe display a year or two before I left.

3. But finally, the best final night consisted of a pupil, now a RM Officer I believe, freeclimbing both Big School and Chapel to hang two banners reading, "Thank you Housey", and "Up The Brotherhood". Inspired! And perhaps, unbeatable me thinks......

Along with a current Lead software developer at Novell If I remember correctly.

I remember one year having all the toilet doors taken from the boarding houses and arranged in the quad.

I also remember the grecians spending the entire morning being escorted to the houses to replace them :D

OK, I've got a pic of a banner in the quad left by 2006 leaving Grecians, with *culprits* happily pictured beneath... Anyone who knows how to paste it into here? I'm at a loss... ~blonde~ :?

You could use a programme like photobucket, but I have never found it user friendly.

Alternatively, e-mail to our Illustrious Leader, Julian, on:-

admin@chforum.info

I'm sure he'll put it on for you. Very accomodating, is young Julian !

Not the same year - probably 96/97 if I am thinking of the same people!
