Old Boys > Mark Flannery (1960-1969) writes:

I read your e-mail with interest, and visited the excellent website. It was nice to recognise old names in the history section, (it made me realise quite how old I am now!. I was at Homefield from 1960 until 1969, seeing out the last years of Gove Road, and spending my last year at the Western Road site. I have very fond memories of those years, and still occasionally see old friends. It was our year group that donated all the tress around the periphery of the playing field, mine being the weeping willow at the end of the Headmaster’s garden. I believe it has been taken down. I haven’t been back to the school for probably 25 years, but when I did Martin Carnes was still there, and rather worryingly he recognised me straight away. Presumably my ignorance had stood out all those years before! I rarely come back to Cheam these days, but I will try and get hold of a few chums, and my brother, another old boy (in both senses!) and see if any of can make the dinner next July.
