Kevin Greathead 1970-1975 Login or Register to view email address. Where to start, 1976 might be one idea but I can't remember that far back.

* Married to Carole, one child Charlotte and always a pet about.
* Still working in the gambling business, casinos mainly and awaiting the new dawn of relaxed legislation or retirement with the latter the more likely.
* Am now 50, as are all of those that left in 1975 and still survive.
* Rarely ever visit Chippy, but stop off in Banbury for petrol and the Banbury Guardian just to see if anyone I can remember has got themselves into the news.
* Like everyone else would like to attend the next reunion, having missed the last one, but not enough to actually arrange it.
* So if you know of a 'completer finisher' from our year tell them to get on with it.
* Other than that hope old friends are well and happy.

Philip Sharpe 1971-1977 Login or Register to view email address. Back in '77 I was intending to return after the summer holidays to the 6th form. Got offered a job instead with a wildlife film unit called Oxford Scientific Films. Spent 9 years with them learning how to make films. Went freelance in 1985 as Cameraman and worked for many years for BBC, Survival, Discovery, National Geographic, etc. This culminated in making my own film called 'The Condor, The Coyote & The Canyon' for Survival/Discovery. I spent 18 months living in Arizona to make it and it was screened on Channel 4 in 1998 (and many times since). Did a few years more camerawork on the BBC's 'Congo' & 'Wild Africa' series before switching careers to Special Effects work in cinema (I had done bits and pieces over the years). Worked on 'Black Hawk Down', 'James Bond - Die Another Day', 'Tomb Raider 2 - The Cradle Of Life' and 'Batman Begins'. Currently working on trying to get my own TV series off the ground called 'Living As Martians' but can't find anybody with £8 million to make it!

Gary Howse 1974-1976 Login or Register to view email address. I now live in Stockport, married to Patricia with two daughters, Amy 9 & Roby 6.

I have my own business, Northpoint [www.northpoint.ltd.uk] and we paint metal, lots of it.

I have also a timber merchant, Stockport Timber, my pride & joy.

The businesses don't need me anymore, so at 42 I spend my time on recovery projects for banks and financial institutions. Unfortunately, not always a pleasant experience for the businesses I am asked to sort.

Despite the best efforts of Chippy, I have a degree from York/UCLA and an MBA from Manchester Business School.

After 14 years in Manchester I still can't get used to cold fizzy bitter with a head, fortunately my habits are sufficiently well know to my local that a pint is poured and allowed to go warm and flat ahead of my arrival. God bless the northern sociability.

I have renewed my since-primary school association with Robert Keylock this year. A really nice, humourous chap with a lovely family.

Please get in touch. Kind regards, Gary

Mark Baker 1975-1976 Login or Register to view email address. After moving from Chippy to Chesham I have finally settled in East Anglia (Framlingham Suffolk) via Newbury and Yately. A few years as a business analyst (Racal/Bank Of Ireland/BCT) and then University of Essex where I got an Hons degree in electronics and computing. Then Marconi (blahhh) and the last 10 years as an IT contractor (mostly at the BT Labs at Martlesham). So much change, hard work, and good rewards. I am currently married with six children (four inherited).

Chippy seems not just one but several lives away. Lost in the mists of dreams and strange clothes fashions. Life and work now is challanging, very enjoyable and rewarding. My best wishes to everyone where ever you are now and in the years ahead.
