Subject: Latest Wyvernians News
Hello All,
I don't know about you but I can hardly believe that we're in November - I don't know where this year has gone. Anyway, the first item of news is that the latest edition of OWT will be on the website ( https://www.wyvernians.org.uk) and our Facebook page shortly, with some interesting contributions, especially about Bunny Hutchinson. More contributions on any subject, including your life after you left City Boys, are always welcome - please send them to Dennis at djduggan2023@outlook.com
Bob Childs sends us the following news - 'Thanks to Mike Burden my second and third donations of COLS Archives are now with the Record Office at Wigston awaiting cataloguing. They include the famous Tony Baxter hand drawn full timetable for 1980-81! When completed the Record Office will have an impressive range of material covering City Boys Humberstone Gate and Downing Drive, the City of Leicester School and City of Leicester College! So well done to all Wyvernians and I believe it is now the longest and deepest archive collection they have for any secondary school'. Bob will send me a link once the items have been processed by the Record Office - which may take some time! I will pass the information on when I receive it from Bob, in case anyone wants to have a look at the items.
Chris Jinks sent me a report about the reunion of the 1967 intake, organised by Clive Langley and held at the Dove public house, just down the road from the former site of the School. Chris reports that 'We had 12 turn up for this event which everyone seemed to enjoy. At the reunion I also touched on the possibility of arranging a Mayflower Junior School reunion in Summer 2027 as that will represent 60 years since we all finished there! Many pupils in our year started off at Evington Valley Infants, went on to Mayflower Junior and then on to City Boys (Downing Drive)'. Contact Chris on chris.jinks1@btinternet.com if this is of interest. So, one reunion leads to another...
Lastly, a goodly number of Old Wyves have expressed an interest in attending the Special Viewing of Peter Robinson's sports photos, hosted by Peter himself, at De Montfort University. Peter is just sorting out a suitable date which I will pass on when received.
Hope all is well with you.
All the best,
Brian
