With the disappointment of not being able to hold a reunion due to covid restrictions, we eventually held a reunion in October 2022. This was our sixth reunion held at Peter's Fishing Lodge in Maidenhead, it was well attended with some new faces and lasted well in the evening. There was a sad shadow cast over the event when we received news that Stephen Lock had died, he was one of the original Winbury boys who attended the first reunion in 2009. His brother, Tim, was unable to be with us for obvious reasons. A few days later we received more bad news, Martin Kemp had also died, he was also one of the original attendees and performed great sax music at our reunions. They will both be missed.

In 2009 when Mike Chapman and I started the reunions we wanted to get together as many old boys as possible, we realised that time was not on our side and we wanted to meet up with as many of our old friends as possible. We achieved our aim and even passed our expectations, we managed to meet up with old school friends and reminisce about our happy school days.

If these reunions are to continue we need old boys to take over the reins from Mike and I, it's our fondest wish to continue reunions for as long as possible.
