The Ridgeway School and Sixth Form College

Some of you may recall the Hanson sisters, Valerie and Fiona, who lived in Ogbourne St Andrew, this is Fiona, in 1991, she worked as a press photographer for the Press Association, in London - seen here with the well known snapper John Downing of the Daily Express. I think she and her sister, Valerie, (who was feared by teachers) left Ridgeway before the 5th year in 1975. I used to bump into Fi on jobs regularly in London as I did the same type of work, but for newspapers not agencies. 😃

Apparently Mr Dave Wells is 60 this June, looking forward to buying him beers and listening to a birthday speech full of reminiscing and memories of an old Ridgewaydian - please advise on a suitable present for this red headed Man City fan .... 😀 suitable... 😂

More sad news unfortunately, heard from Gill Coates that Phil Sumpter, Beverley's brother has passed away on Saturday. Phil was in the year above us and like Bev, wasn't that keen on Ridgeway school. The only photo I have of him is at his wedding. Also attending the wedding was Phil's good pal, Gus Thomas, who many of us also remember from Ridgeway School. No funeral details yet. RIP Phil

Who remembers Fiona Hason from Ridgeway, had an elder sister Valerie - Fi has been a press photographer for 25 years or there abouts, she hasn't changed a bit from what I remember of her..!

Before I forget .... I would like to wish all of you Ridgeway folks past and present a Very Merry and Happy Christmas - our reunion still remains fresh in my memory as does Liz falling over and Kathryn and Julie trying to speak in understandable English...! So if you fancy a rematch, maybe some different people, then let me know and I will make arrangements in 2013. Make sure you network this through your friends and we'll try for a guest list of 50+. Thanks for your support - best wishes, Watty.
