Dear All, I am writing in response to a reunion meeting I had recently with Geoff Wills and his brother Robin. The background to this meeting was that coincidentally both me and the Wills brothers were returning to our roots in the village of Amberley – to the churchyard – and after a period of approximately sixty-five years have met …
John Lloyd (CHSB 1946-1954)
I attended Chi High from 1946-1954 and then studied Geology at Bristol University, qualifying in 1957. I joined the British Overseas Geological Survey and worked in the South American bush in British Guiana (Guyana) from 1958-1961, carrying out geological mapping. I married my wife Pat, a Guianese girl, in 1961. We moved to London where I studied for a degree …
Michael Whittaker (CHSB 1956-1963)
Thanks for the welcome to the group! My eight years at the School left many memories so I will trickle feed as they come back to me. My joining was prompted by a recent stroll through the School grounds and the feeling of sadness as the state of the building. The gym, which was undoubtedly my favourite room, where first …
Roger Chynoweth (CHSB 1955 -1962)
I believe the dates of these two photographs to be correct but I am not 100 per cent sure. They could be a year later in each case. The names are written in ink on the form photograph, so if they are not too clear, I will try to summarise below: (from left) Back row: Chris Lawrence, Keith Deeks, Rodney Castleden …
Hugh Allman (CHSB 1937-1945)
I was borne on 10 August 1927 at the Post Office Stores, Birdham. In September 1937 I started CHSB in Form Alpha with endless arithmetic under Mr Holland. I was in Form 2B when the War started. The younger male teachers were called-up for military service and were replaced by older men or even a lady. Frequent trips to the air-raid shelters …

John Davidson (CHSB 1958-1964)
Miss Lewis did not teach me much English! Anyway here goes. I passed my 11+ in 1958 and started at School in September. I was never a high flyer educationally but the school taught me enough to give me good long-term employment with West Sussex County Council from when I left to retirement in 2005. I have many good memories …
