Spring Grove House Refurbishment and…..A New OSG Cedar Tree
A refurbishment programme has begun at the London Rd site which will see the demolition of the 1960s concrete monstrosities that surround Spring Grove House and a sympathetic redevelopment of the site. The major work started in October 2008. The following pictures were taken on October 8th 2008, 19th November 2008 and 6th March 2009 from roughly the same position. At the October 2007 reunion as there was to be additional planting and landscaping for the new redevelopment scheme, we suggested that the OSGs should donate a tree. Preferably a cedar tree. The idea has been warmly received by the refurbishment committee. It is suggested that a commemorative plaque be “unveiled “ at the “final (?)” 2012 reunion, after all the work is completed.

‘46ers mini reunion to launch Club 80 |
|
.'Club80' The object of the get together was our actual or impending Eightieth Birthdays, having joined the school in 1941, all in the same first year class. The five were: Gwen Mantel (Now Paige) with husband Geoff. Peter Wotton with wife Danni, Phil Marshall with wife Cath, Eric Badby with wife Joan and Stanley Sach with wife Sylvia. On Tuesday 6th. Oct. at the Old Mill Hotel West Harnham, Salisbury, we gathered for afternoon tea followed by dinner in the evening. There was much reminiscing as is usual, and it was a great pleasure to meet the husband and wives of our old friends. We know there are a few more eligible '46'ers out there who could join our club.......but they must hurry up !! |
