"https://www.facebook.com/groups/5689808252/ announces a tea-party for alumni on 10th October from 4pm to celebrate 70 years of its existence.". I have heard at least 7 (me included) of the 1959 intake will be going. It starts at 4.30pm. |

I was at Caludon 1955 to 1960 from the second year it opened. I guess I will add to the people you know Slash1 I think that was your nickname (aka PL if I'm not mistaken) and if I'm right I think there was a day when French teacher Mr Shipley was so frustrated with you he tipped the wicker waste bin upside down on your head and sent you out!
I remember many of the teachers from then. My time was quite a happy one although I was not a star at sport. I did play in the house basketball team! In Talbot to begin with Geoff Bennet as HM then Morgan where "Lofty" Jim Summers was HM. Somebody mentioned "blob" D Davies he was HM Mowbray. Do you remember the eight-day calendar? Overall Caludon was good for me, a wide range of experience. Weekending in a bar sometime later I once went back to see Mr Evans with a pewter tankard that had a damaged base and he soldered a copper ring base on it. Great guys there. I often quote "Nosined" Denison the biology teacher who said "believe nothing you hear and half that you see" My grandchildren now quote it back to me with resignation in their voice!!
I could go on but.... I left in 1960 to become the first commercial apprentice at Coventry Gauge and Tool. When TI closed part of the company in 1980 I left having become Finance Director of the gauge division TI Coventry Gauge. An octogenarian now with many good memories. |

I was schooled at Caludon up to 1988 and Geoff Bennet was also still a teacher!caomhinsean@gmail.com
