Have
you been reunited with an old friend through this page? Email norfolk.online@bbc.co.uk
and tell us about it.
I attended the Paston School, North Walsham, from 1954 to 1961 and
would love to hear from any of my old classmates - particularly
those who shared the experience of the science sixth form under
masters Bob Bennett (physics), Watt Tyler (chemistry) and Grantham-Hill
and Spicer (mathematics).
I remember the school train journeys from Sheringham with, among
others, John Roe, Alan Childs, Mike Howes, Tony Colman, etc. Also
is Peter Hodgkins out there - we have forgiven you for not turning
up at our wedding!! My e-mail address is Courtnay.Sayer@btinternet.com

I
have just completed a virtual tour of 91热爆 East as I trained as a
camera person in 1981-1985. I have trIed to find the workplace site
to contact people like Steve Bumphrey, floor manager, or Ian who
worked in VT or Norman who used to be a director but called me Petunia.
If any one is still there from those days - I'd love to hear from
them.
I was 5ft tall with short blond hair and wore shorts which caused
a stir in the studio. Ivor the weatherman started when I was there.
Thanks.

I
attended Aylsham secondary school聽until 1967. I lived in Hungate
St Aylsham and moved to Reepham in 1980. I emigrated to Melbourne,
Australia in 1990 and would love to contact any of my old friends.
I was a supervisor with Broadland council before my move Down Under.
Now instead of gritting the roads winter time, I check the beaches聽first
thing in the morning and the parks throughout the day, in shorts!
Gloves and coats - what are they?!

DAVE BARTRAM, AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND
Like
so many others I have just come across your great home sick making
site. I would love to make contact with many friends from Hellesdon聽I
use to live in Middletons Lane and knew so many lovely people there.
Through the Sixties we would meet at the Hellesdon Community Centre
to 聽attend the dances聽-聽 that would be the place where our gang
would hang out. We went through the scooter age, some had motorbikes.
We had such a good time there in our youth sometimes falling foul
of the laws But only minor things like speeding up to Red Brick
with the girlfriends or allowing someone聽else to use your bike.
Most if the friends would have attended Hellesdon Secondary Modern.
My mum is still alive and lives in an old people's home in Long
Stratton and my brothers live in and around Norwich. I used to work
for Jarrolds Printing, East Anglian Printers and just before I left
to come to live in Australia I worked for Dow litho on Timber Hill.
I came back to Norfolk last year with my new wife for the first
time in 10 years and how it made me homesick. We rented a cottage
in Salhouse for two weeks, close to were I had lived in Rackheath,
where we had two children Edward and Sarah. Edward is in London
and will return to Brisbane this year. Sarah has a family and lives
on the Goldcoast Queensland. I'm visting Norwich again this coming
Christmas all being well and would love to get in touch with some
of those long lost friends from the past.

DAWSON (DANNY)
I
would love to find some of my old school friends. I went to the
Notre Dame from the age of four and then up into the Notre Dame
High. At four I had a boyfriend at school called Christopher Pointer.
His mother would meet him from school and buy us both sweets. He
had to leave when he was eight, as all boys did. I think his father
was Pointers the builders. Also the best friend I ever had Ann Cutting
whose family treated me as one of theirs. I am sure she will be
at the reunion on June 7th 2002, and hope she can make contact with
me as I am unable to get there. My name and address will be with
Daphne Wenn. Also Patricia Frost where are you? You lived at the
Vicarage in Mill Hill Road. We did so many beetle drives. You had
a younger sister and we were good mates, let's find each other.
I remember Jane Morse's birthday parties at Newmarket Road. Jill
Carlson had a sister, Susan. Dad was a doctor. You sat behind me
in class. I miss my home so much and I am alone now so it would
be great to catch up. I haven't forgotten one of you - there are
so many more.

I
have just found this great website and I am really enjoying reading
other Norfolk expats comments. I was born in Pilot Street in King's
Lynn and I have lived in Australia since 1967, in a lovely area
known as the Central Coast about one hour from Sydney. I have returned
to King's Lynn many time and always love the countryside, the small
villages and just the fun of meeting family again. I went to Gaywood
Park from 1950 to 1954 my name was Wendy Irwin and my family were
quite well known in North End. I would love to contact a long lost
friend of mine by the name of Jackie Burke from Gaywood, she went
to London to become a nurse. It would be nice to hear from anyone
who may remember me and if anyone can remember Jackie Burke. Please
contact me if you remember me or have any information on her. My

She went on to qualify as a nurse in London, but we lost touch shortly

anyone can help, I'd really like to contact her again.

remember Stephanie Fish, Susan Norton, Penelope Hutchinson, Julie
Johnson, Anne Took, Beverley Brookes, Jimmy Snel, Clive Shelman,
John Greengrass, Steven Greengrass, Ray Howard and many more but
I can only remember nicknames of the rest - Ros Pottee, Dave the
Rave, Keby Beans. We all except Penelope went to Hellesdon secondary
modern school 1965/68. I left in '68 because I moved to Great Yarmouth.
I
would also like to get in touch with Russell and Irene Browse, they
had three children: Terry, Ronny and Lorraine. They used to live
in Gowing Road, Hellesdon. Russell was in business with my father
Eddie Taylor[hellesdon transport] - this would be in the '60s, we
moved to Great Yarmouth in '68. After a few years my father lost
touch. I often wondered what happened to you all. I do know you
moved to just outside Norwich but where I do not know.

before I moved to Canada in 1970 I have just found your web page
- it is so good to find that there are homesick people like me.
It is not that I do not like Canada but at times such as now, when
winter is just around the corner, that I miss my home. I went to
St Louis School for Girls in Gt Yarmouth and if any of my old friends
should read this they can contact me at nightingale_house@trondata.on.ca
Thank you.

Hi,
I have just found your website and left a message saying I came
to the USA in 1965 and miss England a lot and I now live in New
York and asked people to say prayers for us so we can move forward
after our tragedy here in New York. I said I had cried buckets of
tears and I miss Norwich & Norfolk a lot and come back every so
often to visit. I will enjoy your site. I often think of the people
I have lost touch with over the years and had a friend by the name
of Peggy Greensides who is probably married by now with a daughter
Geraldine. I would like to hear from people I may have know while
growing up there and my maiden name was Patricia Randall from Norfolk
and Norwich and then came to USA in 1965. My email address is wetterot@bestweb.net

Hi,
I like your site. I've just been listening to the Norfolk News but
explored a little more today. I was born in Wymondham, brought up
in Norwich and have lived in the USA since 1960 when my parents
decided to move to California. Went to Horns Lane Infants school,
Lakenham Primary, then another primary near Beverley Road. Must
have been a wonderful experience, I've forgotten the name of it.
Then I went Notre Dame High School until 1954. I miss Norwich, even
now, but have made several trips back; hope to be there again within
a year. Used to go dancing a lot at the Samson and Hercules, the
Lido, and the American Club. There was also a little Jazz Club down
Davey Place.Missed it all like crazy. I wish more of my friends,
Gillian, Pamela and Maureen had access to e-mail,it is so much easier
that snail mail.
e-mail me if you think you remember me. sayercon@echoweb.net
