2011 Dinner

The 2011 dinner was attended by 111 old boys and 18 guests. The oldest attendee was again Bill Hibbs who started the school in 1931 with many younger old boys from the 1965 cohort. The 1950 intake provided a number of new attendees including Max Telling, Alan Fothergill, Peter Shaw, Malcolm Glenn and Brian Kirkland.

The 49ers again produced the largest contingent with nine old boys attending. The Edwardians and the Baby Boomers provided significant numbers.

Old boys travelled from all parts of the UK with Alan Findlay from Strathaven in Scotland, and Norman Tweedale from Barmouth. Others came from Essex, London, Suffolk, Northumberland, Staffordshire, Leicestershire, Lancashire, Derbyshire and various parts of the old Yorkshire.
