Ted Rose (70-77) and Richard Wilks (70-77) met up at the Chiltern Firehouse Restaurant in London in October last year with their respective partners Mireille and Lana for what turned out to be a long and most enjoyable lunch. These two founder members of the College Junior School had not met up for at least fifteen years due to Richard living and working in Canada since leaving Pangbourne. You can imagine what amazing tales were told..... just a shame the lunch had to end.
