Apologies for the delay in making this available. Thu, 05 Apr 2012 22:59:46 GMT http://ecsosa.org.uk/news/#warmemorial We are pleased to report that the war memorial has now been reinstated to its original position in the school hall on the former Grammar School site.

Sun, 11 Dec 2011 15:14:00 GMT http://ecsosa.org.uk/theschool/pdfs/a-life-for-men.pdf Emrys Williams, who is more commonly known as Bill, was at the school in the 1930s. He left the school at the end of the Summer term in 1939 and in March 1940 he joined the RAF as an apprentice, leaving in 1953. He has written his (unpublished) memoirs of his RAF days and wondered if we'd like to make them available on the website. Although not specific to the school it is hoped some readers might find them of interest.

Sat, 27 Aug 2011 20:23:35 GMT http://ecsosa.org.uk/photos/unknowndate/ Beryl has three sets of photos that she would appreciate some help with. Two come from the musical 'Robert and Elizabeth' which will date from the late 1970s and starred Judith Robertson and Martin Harwood. Another four comes from a 'mediecal play' which at first glance looked to Graham like the sometime around 1980 but which Beryl thinks may be much later as they were apparently prepared for the printer of a prospectus. The remaining four come from a Speech Day presentation which must date from the late 1990s.

The bottom line is that it looks different and the forum has been removed. Wed, 29 Jun 2011 12:05:34 GMT http://ecsosa.org.uk/newsletters/pdfs/News 2011 (2) Summer.pdf The Summer 2011 edition of the newsletter (dated June 2011) is now available online. Tue, 31 May 2011 19:56:18 GMT http://ecsosa.org.uk/news/#fotopic Most of the photos on the site were being hosted by Fotopic.net. Unfortunately that site has been down since early March and it has finally been admitted that the parent company Snappy Designs has ceased trading and is heading for liquidation. It remains to be seen whether Fotopic.net will reappear and if so whether the existing image databases will reappear with it. As the photos have not been available for the best part of a month and no one has commented I am minded to wait a little while longer to see what happens in the hope access will be restored, at which point I can make sure I do have the very latest copies of everything and then consider alternative arrangements. It is the most recent changes to the captioning of the photos that I am concerned about, not the photos themselves. Wed, 06 Apr 2011 10:22:58 GMT http://ecsosa.org.uk/about/accounts2010.html As mentioned in the Chairman's report in the latest newsletter, a summary of the ECSOSA accounts for the year ending 31st August 2010 is now available on the website. Tue, 07 Dec 2010 21:21:52 GMT http://ecsosa.org.uk/news/#cheerful Dr John Norrington-Davies has completed 'The Saga', his book about his years at the school during wartime. It runs to 428 pages with 70 photographs. It has been published with the title 'Cheerful with Insufficient Reason' and is available for purchase from lulu.com or Amazon.co.uk.
