Featured Facebook Post: Sylvia Okyere (Creative Writing and Drama Studies, 2013) is the lucky winner of the iPad Mini draw prize from the now-notorious Golden Scroll Photos of Graduation 2013.

Keith Oswin (Teacher Training, Newton Park College 1974-77) writes in the hope of reconnecting with former classmates, and to share some humorous reminiscences: “It would be great if you could add a 'Desperately Seeking...' message in the next magazine. I would like to catch up with anyone who remembers me from between 1974-1977. Incidentally, there is a curious link between the old Newton Park College and the company I work for (luxury/boutique hotel bookers Mr & Mrs Smith) in that The Queensberry Hotel in Russell Street used to be one of the halls of residence during my time at the college. It's been scrubbed up a bit since the days when Miss Downer was the strict custodian of the girls' morals - although she may have just turned a blind eye to the fact that the 'safety hatches' that served as fire escapes between the houses at top floor level also allowed unofficial (male) 'residents' to make their escape when she was on the prowl...or so I'm told...ahem! ;-) As for the new speed humps on Corston Drive, that's just not sporting! I'm sure I or one of my fellow students held the record for the Porter's Lodge to Globe Gateway Grand Prix during my time there. And no one could touch me on the Main House to Newton St Loe Sprint course! Happy days!”
