| Comments: | Hi There. I have only visited Bearswood College as a guest - My Mum took me to see the college when we were on a visit to England in 1981. The place is awesome!! and I know it brought back some great memories for my Mum when she saw the place again. I am sending this message for my Mum who went to Bearwood in the early fifties. Her name then was Joan Doward and she is on the photos on the web. It would be a great surprise for her if anyone out there does remember her and sent her an email. Her email address is joanm@one.net.au. It's a great website and good to see some family history. |

| Comments: | Well i must say the removal of my messages is really quite interesting, just because I don't behave like a sycophant towards my old school does not mean this gives you the right to remove messages? Then again your sort at school always felt they were above everyone else. Enough said until the next deletion. Toodle pip Mr Poop,Jellicoe & Drake. |

Brian like the idea of the site and lucky you.. being in BC. I've done my best to forget my time at this place but regret not staying in touch with more of my fellow inmates. Can you believe there used to be no women at this place! No wonder several lost the plot and wasted our parents money. |

I have four children, ranging from 30yrs to 18 yrs - two boys and two girls. Would love to hear from any "Old Royal" who would like to make contact. Many thanks for your initiative, |

| Comments: | I went to Bearwood from the first year to the the fifth form when I left. My brother also went to Bearwood, Simon Kitts, he's twenty five now. I think that this page is cool 'cause it's the first one that I've found about my old school. When I was there Martin Penney was head and I'm unsure about going back because there's a new headmaster now and he was - apparently- extremely influenced by Mr. Pritchard (never did find out his first name - was it Gappy ? ahahah) Keep up the good work |
