Dear Ex-Dartingtonian, Aren't we all?!
This new domain will now be the permanent home of the Dartington Hall School
web pages.
There are now over 2000 names on the school database. That makes a good link
for the next reunion, April 1st 2005, Trafalgar Square. The first Saturday
in the month. Well it would be the first wouldn't it? 12 noon. To help
organize this sort of event we need dates of birth for everyone. It is no
longer feasible to use snail mail but by 2005 there should be enough on
email to circulate details and word of mouth for the rest. There are 1400 of
you that we don't have an OFFICIAL date of birth for and I've listed them
here. If you know the DOB of one
of these, please let me know. If you have a good idea, let me know that too.
Once we have that information we'll be well on the way. Don't be shy. I was
5 years older than everyone else in my group but I learnt how to read
eventually! Some problems will arise. Where do teachers go? Is this when we
find out who teachers pet is? That's life! Do you want to see some
Vikings? Maybe you know some of them. Art work by Frances Astor, a
picture of the Cott or the Hall? Do you have a picture I could put on that
others might enjoy?
Mary Logie, as was, now Maria Suffolk in Australia, just sent some great
pictures from the 50's
Does anyone know how many people were at the school in
total? Educated guesses? To have such a large proportion at the 96 reunion
was remarkable. All generations seemed to be well supported although it was
not always easy to recognise your friends after 40 years (or more!). As an
example look at the football team of 61-62 then look at them now! Didn't your parents tell
you to study more and not spend so much time playing games! They were right
weren't they? Thanks to Roger Haworth for sending them in.
I have put some pictures here of the
1996 reunion but there are also a few from the
fifties that I found after I got back. And a
few more. If you have some that you think others would enjoy and can
send me a copy(!) I'll try and put them on as well.
