Thanks to Barrie Shelton (1955-1962] a number of new entries have been made in the obituaries page.

September 13, 2021 ~ Malcolm Peaker ~ Leave a comment

Thank to Martin Phillips who provided scans from France, we have three ‘missing’ copies of The Centaur uploaded and ready to view and/or download. They are No 69 Summer 1965, 70 Spring 1966 and 71 Summer 1966.

These are the first ones in a searchable pdf format (I will change all the others eventually).

New Obituary Page

September 10, 2021 ~ Malcolm Peaker ~ Leave a comment

The first 25 obituaries of former pupils have been added, thanks to Garry Humphreys and to my finding some while searching for other HMGS material. They are in a short form with links to obituaries on other sites.

Additions are welcome.
