In 2002 I made contact with Keith Stone, David Shuker & Colin Wright through the Friends Reunited Website. We exchanged emails and it turned out that Colin had stayed in touch with Tom Wilson and Tom was in contact with Des Traynor. Some of us were able to meet up in London - here's the evidence.

Different people remember different things (except for Keith Stone who remembers just about everything) so I thought I'd use this page to record what we have so far:

Why 3Z? Well, we didn't all start in 1Z and some off us left before 1973. 3Z is as close as I can get to a time when we were all there. As it is there must be 3 or 4 people that we've missed.

If you can add any of the missing names, correct the ones we have or if you'd like to add something about yourself to the Register please contact me at the email address below

If you want me to put your email address in the register I will happily do so but please be aware that any addresses entered are likely to be harvested by spammers who will send you emails offering penis extensions, loans and breast uplifts - and I think we're all getting a bit too old for that.

You can contact me by email at: al@thebunker.eclipse.co.uk

Feeling Left Out?

I finally got around to publishing Mick Cheadle's registers for 1X and 1Y circa 1966. If you're an ex-pupil of WGS for another period you might like to look at Trevor Lloyd's Photo Album He has school photos from the 50s and 60s together with a 1961 edition of "The Wellingtonian."
