School Leaving Year: 1983 (5th year)

Memory of Edgware School: I have so many, where does one start? Most of my memories surround great sporting achievements. Saturday mornings playing rugby on some dodgy mud soaked pitch and being stuffed by much superior opposition. Scoring the winning try against Kingsbury in the cup only to be beaten 64-0 in the next round by Gaton boys school. My first trip away to Butlins in Minehead. Breaking down on the way in the oldest coach ever. Trips to Copthall on the school bus. Fred Corletts E-type Jaguars in the car park. Environmental Studies in the mobile classrooms, field trip to Fred's brothers farm in Cumbria. Rugby tours to Holland and not winning any games. Mostly I have fond memories of my 5 years at Edgware. Whatever anyone says about comprehensive education and league tables; they don't understand that this is the best training for the real world.

Notes:I am a avid Watford football fan like most of my family. After I left school, I went to atford College to complete a course in photography. I have always stayed close to my roots. I live in Mill Hill and work in Holborn for a Global Media Company called MPG (Media Planning Group). We plan and buy media for clients such as Orange, Colgate Palmolive, Ericsson, Chanel, Microsoft and Intel amongst many others. I run the TV buying department at the agency. It's bloody hard work, but a great business to be in.
