Martin is about to start the process of putting the 2017 Old Boys Newsletter together and would be grateful for contributions. There is no particular topic or format required but past favourites have included memories of the schools, staff, other pupils or particular events and personal activities and achievements since leaving the Lodge or Tech. News of reunions also goes down well but views on Brexit, Donald Trump and Strictly Come Dancing are banned. Martin's happy to receive electronic postings to this email address or hard copy contributions to 58 Middlefield Lane, Hagley, DY9 0PX. The same goes for any photographs, particularly ones of recent reunions and so on. Judging by communications he has receive during the year, some may wish to take the opportunity to try and track down former peers. The newsletter goes to well over 500 people so I’m happy to take that on as well and act as a post box in order to protect personal details. Martin will do his best to include all offerings but may have to exercise editorial powers by reason of cost or good taste. on behalf of Martin Baines. Honorary Secretary.
