Opening up the Old Boys section on the Homefield website and seeing Mark Flannery's posting has inspired me to write. I was at the school at the same time as Mark and remember those days with great fondness. My memories include semolina pudding in the dining room at the old Grove Road site, the bell being rung allowing us to talk between courses, trying to master dovetail joints in the old carpentry shop, British Bulldogs in the old gym, the Under 11 Football & Cricket Teams, Maths and Rugby with Mr Packwood, History and Shooting with Mr Worton, Latin with Mr Evans, Douglas Bader opening the new school at Western Road, and the centenary cricket match against Colin Cowdrey's Old Boys Team. After Homefield, I went to Epsom College, and then the University of Warwick, and I now manage a Civil Engineering Division at Atkins. I'm married with 2 daughters, aged 21 & 18. Sad to say I won't be able to make the 2nd July, but hope it's a success.
