Dear Old Centaur, September is nearly with us, and 50-60 years ago we would have been getting ready for a new term at school! Bright new blazers, shiny leather satchels, clean PE kit! The newly updated Old Centaurs website has suddenly grown by leaps and bounds. One-time pupils are finding old friends, and reading history and stories which had long since been forgotten. We have over 200 photographs and images for you to browse. There are scores of stories, memories and articles from Old Centaurs. And I'm excited to tell you there are now SIX School magazines available with the prospect of more to come. They make amazing reading. You might be very surprised at what you find. The Home Page contains a Search Engine so you can look up names and events with ease. The site is a becoming a gold-mine for historical researchers. Take time to come back over and over again. The Latest section always shows the newest additions True - some sections look like they are rather arbitrarily arranged, which is something I will have to address later, maybe during the Christmas vacation. A BIG REQUEST Please pass on this email to as many Central School contacts as you can and get them to write to me to be added to the mailing list. If you have stories, photos and press cuttings which you can't already see on the site, please send them to us for future inclusion. More and more men are sending mini-biographies with a modern picture. These are amazing. Have you sent yours? I know many old boys are not very accustomed to the Internet - but this is still the very best way to share our common school inheritance. Perhaps with a little help, anyone can access it. For those of you (and you know who you are) who have plied me with huge amounts of information, a very big, heart-felt Thank you. Please keep in touch with the occasional email. News is always good! With very best wishes, Michael Buss |
