Hello - this page was created in June, 2001 in an attempt to locate and distribute information about friends and colleagues who attended Ealing Tech around the years of 1957 to 1961.

Martin Cocker is responsible for starting the ball rolling, by placing an "anybody there??" message in http://www.knowhere.co.uk/board/kb560/ - its probably still there - I notice there is also a bleat at  http://www.lammas.com/community/EalingTechnicalCollege.html. FriendsReunited has lots of names and contact details too....

I responded and the table below summarises where we stand today (click on the Name below for more details). Or, have a look at  Memory Lane, Latest Updates, eMail details and Photo Album pages.

As at 5th June, 2006 - Martin Cocker, on his world-trip from Oz to the UK, stopped off for a couple of nights at chez-Curley, here in Singapore - and very enjoyable it was too. Click here for Cocker in Singapore....

As at 26th January, 2006 Paul Tucker (and his lady wife - Dorothy) and Martin Cocker have really put themselves out - and had a mini-reunion. Tucker went to the trouble of flying from London via Los Angeles and New Zealand - to Sydney. Whilst Martin got himself up from Wollongong (environs) to Sydney where..... in Martin's words....

Dear Paul and Dorothy

What a pleasure to meet up with you and have the chance to reminisce and share matters of mutual interest!. I hope that you enjoyed the final two days in Sydney, that the weather was kinder to you and that you are now flushed with success after bridge climbs, harbour cruises and surfing. By now you will have arrived in Singapore and be enjoying the hospitality of the Curley household.

I attach the photos and a few local scenes taken around our home and the Wollongong area, sorry about the long word Dorothy!!

Have a safe trip home and I hope to catch up sometime in June.

The event has luckily been captured on ?film?....

Paul on the left (if you didn't know) - and all seems to be going well - no harboured disagreements or misunderstandings...

But then.. "I didn't say to Daddy Watts that you were a long string of nothing" - "Well that's what Cackle said"!! - And off it went from there!!

Maybe re-unions aren't all that great!!

Well done boys!!

Received the following email...from a lady who may have been there a year or two before us....

 

Hello,
Was surfing the net in an endeavour to get some background information on the College and its Badge to add to my photo album which I am putting together on my life.
Was unable to find what I needed, but did come across your 'reunion' site, so just thought I would email you.
 
My name was Yvonne Seymour and I did business studies at the College from September 1953 until July 1956.   I worked in London for 2 years before migrating to Australia, on my own, for 3 years - that 3 years has become nearly 53 years as I never returned to live in England. I married an Aussie and had 2 children and now grandchildren.  I migrated to Melbourne, moved to Sydney, now live near Canberra.  Love this country.
 
Have tried to add a photo of friends in my class.  I am first on the left .....

We went for school holidays together to Switzerland in 1954, Holland in 1955 and Italy in 1956.  Can only remember names - Barbara, Jean, and Jennifer....no surnames.  Have no records at all of names of fellow students and I have always been particularly bad at remembering people's names.

 
Maybe I will hear back from you, or others, sometime.
 
Regards
Yvonne
