  Hi Anne
  How you doing? Coincidences that I won't bore you with now found your address, thought I'd find out if you were still around, although it sounds as if you may have left the country!
  If you get this I'd love to hear more about your soya beans...

  Hello Marcus.
  
  I wasn't at H of E for my o-levels (I moved to Sharmans Cross in the middle of the 2nd year), however we were friends before I left. I was also in Blythe and used to live in Hampton in Arden. If I remember correctly, you were a big Aston Villa fan (and at that time they were much better than Man Yoo).
  I am now a web developer in Aylesbury Bucks (I originally saw your name on th
  e friendsrenunited.co.uk site)
  
  Drop me a line, Dave Harvey

  Sorry I am 11 so I cannot remember you, but I go to Balsall Common Primary and are leaving in two weeks to go to Heart of England, but do you remember Mr Davies?(now headteacher) or any other teachers from when you were there?

• Re: Liane Chandler - lived in Balsall Common from 1968 to 1986 by mark churchman (Member 10141646) on 1-Jan-2005
  Hi Liane
  
  Remember me, I was in the year above you.
  
  I have not really been back to Balsall common since 1986 after finishing a 4 year course in Wildlife illustration. I now live near Lowestoft in
  Suffolk.
  
  Would be great to hear from you

  My husband thinks he remembers you. Did you have shoulder length hair and spectacles? He recalls a man of sporting prowess who managed to put a cricket ball through the downstairs bathroom window, whilst bowling!
  Could this be you?

• Re: Is your name here? e-mail me! by mark churchman (Member 10141646) on 1-Jan-2005
  Dear Craig
  
  Strange I have often wondered where everyone went to. Basically I never returned to Balsall common after studying a 4 year course in wildlife illustration. I think in fact I have only been back once or twice since 1986. I now live near Lowestoft and have a beautifull wife daughter and son and a springer spaniel.
  
  Get back
  in touch

  Hi Mark, Didn't see my name on your list however i thought it worth a try to see if you remember me, steve robinson, the ex venture scout leader, late of the 1st balsall Common Midland fen. Been back in the village for about a year now and its surprising just how few people are still around. Would be nice to hear from you and any of the other ex-venture scouts who are still in contact with you or
  perhaps remember me after 25 years or so . Regards Steve.
