Just had our little reunion of 40 years. Lynn Wiggan ne Broxham; Jackie Ancel ne Dent; Janis Ibbotson ne Nunns; Andrea [of 4 marriages fame] ne Middleton; Maureen Crompton ne ? can't remember that --she'll kill me!!! But she married Stephen Crompton -also at the college. Six of us turned up out of our group of 9.

We were at Bingley from 1968-1971. We had a very pleasureable stay at Oakwood hall and spent the weekend 'down memory lane'. I was in Hild [ground floor R18] during my 1st year with 2 other girls -Linda Trigg [Triggles] and Lynne Whithead. Our window was always kept open for those to use after the 11 pm curfew. So ---many shadowy figures wobbled past my bed during night! Can you imagine doing that today! It just seemed par for the course then. I remember strolling along the basement to the sounds of 'Hey Jude' which was a hit during that year. It always bring back a lovely warm feeling when I hear that song. The freedom of being away from home.

We all remembered how many lectures we missed rather than how many we attended too!! Bingley pub crawl --drinking pints --very racy for the day --it always got us a free drink or 2 cos local men were 'right impressed'! Most of us hitched home --me to Swansea others to various places -we took some risks and had some near misses too!! But live to tell the tale.

So many tales, so many memories, what a place! Very special. The famous hill --piling into mini cabs when too lazy or drunk or, for those [not to mention any names!!] who often missed the early morning coach from their 'digs'! Wonderful life!
