As requested a page for the '66 Intake

Well here's something as a starter for the '66 intake courtesy of  Ted Austin who only knows the whereabouts of one other member of the '66 intake. Yours truly knows the whereabouts of two others (Neville Snodgrass & Jeff Plumb) so if there are any more of you out there who would like to get in touch with Ted or Colin then send me an email or post some text on the notice board.

Jeff sent this gem in recently

"Who remembers Scrumpy nights out, getting pissed on two pints, Weymouth Pavilion, lets all Drink to the death of a Clown, Nights in White Satin, Whiter Shade of Pale etc. What a fabulous time, Eddie Hapgood and Mrs Shagnasti's wonderful morning  tea's, honey and all. Cheese rolls full of pubes. Late night trials of retribution, pyramids and full telephone boxes. Free telephone calls courtesy of British Telecom, who remembers tap,tap,tap,ring,ring. Anybody remember the confrontation with the Poole Hells Angels on the lawn of the Hostel. Southern softies no bottle. Engineers blue in the showers and on the bog seats. Can anybody remember the name of the little fat get who bossed us all around at Winfrith. Should be dead by now thank god." 
 
1966 was surely the best year of the lot.

If you're out there and have a photo then send it in, lets get '66 on properly on the site.

"Hi - Ted Austin here from the '66 intake.  Had the odd non-BNFL job here and there but in general I'm still here beavering away for BNFL.  The only other guy from my year I know for definite is still here, still my best buddy after all these years, and that's Colin Dean.
I noticed the complete lack of anything at all for the 66 - 70 crew so hope you can fix us up with a button with this complete list of the '66 intake copied from the original document."
