Wilnecote High School Sixth Form 1978-80

Welcome our web site, the only web site that dares to document the experience that was Wilnecote High School sixth form 1978 to 1980. This site currently records the sixth form that began as the lower sixth in September 1978 and ended as upper sixth in July 1980.

Discover what written evidence and artefacts have been unearthed from this facinating period of Wilnecote High School history, learn the origins of the Wilnecote High School sixth form obsession with Dosthil Rovers FC, be thrilled by the stories of derring-do...

Contributions so far from Andy Morgan, Martyn Butlin, Sandra Reohorn and Davina Rose with typing by Pete Williams.

**** 26th August 2008: Apologies to anyone trying to access this site recently and found we weren't there. We've now made a few changes to overcome what had become a persistent problem with our web server.  ****

Jeremy Gerken

Friday 8th February 2008: Another recruit. The long lost Jeremy Gerken has contacted us having found your favourite web site......that's this one......and is ready for a night out with your very own Wilnecote over-45s tag team. This isn't the only request for an evening of fine food, fine wine and fine company we've had recently but as we can't provide that it looks like we'll have to organise another beer, curry and Mart, Andy and Pete night again.  


Calling Paul Winterbottom

Saturday 14th July 2007: We've recently received a message from Paul Winterbottom but we've not had a reply to our message back to Paul so we're not sure if Paul's given us a working email address. Paul if you're reading this we've tried to email you but can't be sure if you've received our message(s)

 The 2006 Xmas Outing

Tuesday 5th December 2006: The Christmas gathering is set for Friday 29th December, and yes this is the one when we'll see Darren and (hopefully) Barry for the first time in 20+ years.

The 'where' is the Globe Inn, the 'when' is 8:30-9:00. If you are planning to join us OR not planning to join us on the 29th let me know so I don't have to explain, again, to everyone else that you were invited - it's very very tedious ! Plus it will help if we need to change the venue.

If anyone is in contact with anyone else from our 6th form (or school year) please pass this message on (or tell me how I can contact them).
