St Mark's School, Manor Road

Class of 1972

By Jane Gray (Nee Horrobin)

Good memories of the school

I have such good memories of St Marks down at Arundel Road. For instance, Mr Green was wonderful and I learnt so much in his class. The outside loos were not much fun though. Miss Catlin put together a very succesfull netball team that I was part of. We beat all the local schools. I even remember one game being called off at half time as we were winning something like 45 - 0.

Anyone game for a reunion?

Would love to trace people from this photo for a reunion in September when we will all start to reach our 50th birthdays. Names on this photo -if I remember rightly are:

Back row

Debbie Allen, Sally Ann Perry, Sarah Hewitt, Karen Simmons, Fiona Fisher, Susan Wisdom, Roy Middleton, Nicola Day, Russell Church, Brendon Foat. Next row Audrey Fowler, Julie Stevens, Linda Watson, Hilary Wilson, Andrew Benham, me, Clive Wingrave, Kim Stacey, Ann Southern, Jocelyn Eason, Karen Batchelor,

Next row

Adrian Howard, Sharon Jenkins, Tracey Barker, Karen Beecham, Miss Fittock, Elizabeth Barrett, Howard Allen, Mark Hopkins, Paul Manley, Timothy Bull.

Front row

Andrew Nokes, Michael Hewitt, John Parsons, Nigel Collis, Mark Selby, Wayne Harman, Steven Beadle, Steven Strutt.

How's that for memory test. I did have names on the back of the photo though.

Comments about this page

Hi Jane, I didn't even know this photograph existed. Have many people been in contact? Seems a life time ago. You had to mention that we are all approaching our 50th birthdays, deep joy. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Roy, I have all our class photos. Have been in touch with Mike Hewitt for a few years now and it is he and I that want to arrange a reunion. Have traced a few people but am having trouble finding a lot of them. Are you in touch with anyone? I have spoken to Tracey who knows where Clive and Susan are. Have caught up with Elizabeth and Hilary and Michael has spoken to Adrian (spud). My email address is janegray_lewes@hotmail.com. Please do email me there and let me know if you can help tracing anyone or if you would be interested in a reunion later this year.

Hello Jane, very long time no see, hope all's well with you etc.
Hi Roy, saw Andy Stowell last week over from Oz. Spoke to Karen Batchelor the other week; saw Ann Southern recently and Debbie Allen whilst I was out flying my birds. This is wierd, I only typed my name in the Virgin Media search box to see how many items were listed and this caught my eye. I'm up for a meet ;-) I can be contacted on sakerclive@ntlworld.com

We have now organised an informal reunion in the Sidewinders pub in Upper St James's Street, Brighton on Friday 19th November from 7pm.

What a fantastic site this is. I have only just discovered it. At home I have my class photos of 1968 juniors year 1 teacher Mr Brooks: 1969 year 2 , Miss Mawhinney: 1970 year 3, Mr Green, and 1971 year 4, teacher Miss Fittock. If anyone is interested I will post them here.

Editor's note: Thanks David. To upload your photos you will need to register for the site. You can do that via the navigation bar on the left. If you look here you will find a video which talks you through the upload process. If you get stuck contact me at jennifer@mybrightonandhove.org.uk

Hello Jane - I spoke to my brother Paul this morning and told me to check this page. Sorry I missed the reunion but am always available (work permmiting) to be involved with the next one. I often pass the site and look on it with mixed feelings. Fascinating to see everyone again.

By Mark Hopkins (now Hoye) (13/09/2011)

Hi Mark. Sorry we couldn't find you to invite you. It was great meeting up and catching up. Some people hadn't changed at all - well a bit maybe. Lots of memories came flooding back. Haven't got another reunion planned but if we do, I'll let you know through this page.
