Symondian Magazine

Bernard Webber recently made reference to 'The Symondian' Magazine ... I wonder if anyone out there has a copy (or a copy of a copy), that records my 'leaving' in 1950 ... the entry would have been short, I am sure, because I did not aspire in anything of note ( except playing 'fives' when I should have been doing 'Classics' in the Library) ... the entry probably would have just said :-

Douglas Clews ... "September 1944 til July 1950 - enough said" !!! ...

 

SERIOUSLY, if anyone has such copy, I would be VERY grateful ... I had a copy, but when my Parents came to Oz to join me and my Family in 1968, they left it behind !!! ...

 

Thanks in anticipation ...

The Duke of Edinburgh's Visit

One of the highlights of my First Year was the day the Duke of Edinburgh dropped by for a visit. Some of my memories were jogged recently when I was browsing through the 1964-1965 edition of The Symondian magazine, and came across an account of that day written by "R.D.W.". So why am I posting this message? Well, here's the closing sentence at the end of the account - "This memorable occasion was marked by beautiful weather, which assisted the work of King and Bailey who made a cine film of the visit". OK, King and Bailey - please step forward - I'd love to see this film - if anyone out there has any knowledge of it, please get in touch!

Thank you, and Hello to all Old Symondians out there!

Recent problems on our web-site

Dear Old Symondian,

Recently we have been plagued by supposed 'members' who join, post an advert which gets sent to the membership, and then leave. They have no connection with the school and in fact don't exist as people but are computer generated messages. The consequence of this could be that messages from this site are eliminated as Spam by the ISP. We have tried to keep the list as informal as possible but in order to stop this abuse we have decided to ask prospective members to apply for membership. In this way hopefully we should get no more adverts posted from this site,

best regards,
