CONTACT LIST OF OSA MEMBERS If you want to be included on the following list please email me with your name, email address, the year that you left the Upper Sixth (or would have left the Upper Sixth if you left earlier) and a mini-biography (just two or three lines saying when you left BSN, what you did then and what you are doing now). Only include snailmail adddresses and telephone numbers if you are really sure you want them published to the whole wide world (not only BSNers read this page). Hopefully, this list will enable more members to easily keep in contact - maybe you will even renew some lost contacts.

David Eaton
[Class of 1982]
After leaving the BSN, I went to UMIST to study Mathematics and Management Sciences. My first job took me to ICI in NE England where I started working in IT and traveled frequently to Brussels where I got to know my wife, Julie. I proposed to her in 1990 and at the same time told her that I had got a new job in Munich working for Compaq Computers. Fortunately, she joined me and we got married in 1991. We spent 5.5 marvelous years in Munich enjoying the Biergarten and the skiing. We eventually got lured across to the US, due to the high demand for SAP consultants in 1995. At that time if you could spell SAP you got the job! We initially moved to Boston, working for KPMG, and spent a year traveling to clients in Richmond (Virginia), New York, Atlanta (during the Olympics in 1996) and finally Mobile (Alabama). At which point the `fumes' and fried chicken in Alabama prompted us to leave KPMG and move to `sunny' California. We worked for a small SAP consulting company living in Palo Alto (just south of San Francisco) and have worked in the SF Bay area for the last 5 years. My wife chose the easy option of working as an ABAP programmer so that she could work at home as well as looking after the kids. I am currently working as an SAP Project Manager at a large semiconductor company. Our first daughter was born in Stanford in Dec '98 and our second child is due in Feb '02. My parents still live in Voorhout, NL and we still have regular contact with the Garvins and Smiths. I would love to meet up with anybody who is passing through `sunny' California.

[Class of 1997]
I spent one really fun-packed year at the BSN and then went back to Sweden. After finishing school I spent about a year in the Swedish army (at the time it was still obligatory - had it not been I believe I would have served anyway, it was actually rather fun). Having done that I didn't feel ready for university studies just yet, so instead I spent about 2,5 years DJ:ing, working in a record store, writing for a music magazine and writing/recording/performing with my own little pop/rock band. We released an E.P. that received just about no attention at all (it might have had something to do with the fact that I wrote most of the songs, I'm not sure...). So, having finally realised that the life of Elvis was never mine to be I began studying criminology and forensic psychology at the University of Stockholm while working part time at the central remand center in Stockholm. Basically this means that I am still a poor little student and tha t when I'm finally through with my schooldays (in about a year from now) I will start working as a researcher. I would love to get in contact with anyone who happens to remember me (I used to wear black clothes and spoke rather pompously to disguise the fact that more often than not I had no clue at all of what I was on about... a filthy habbit I still find it hard to refrain from). I miss you all: Si, Se-Min, Stuart, Daniel, Simon Paterson, Amy, Tom DiGaggo, Chris O'Brien, Thom D... well, all of you!

[Class of 1974]
I was at Tapijtweg from 1964-7. Memories include our class teacher Mrs Jonkers (I think). Getting into trouble for larking around at the tram stop near Madurodam on afternoon. And having loads of fun decorating the sixth year room. I wonder if Jane managed to get all that wallpaper paste out of her hair! After the British School I went to boarding school in England, graduated in Environmental Chemistry from Warwick. After eleven years in the chemical /pharmaceutical industry, discovered PCs and became a journalist for a computer magazine. Then got into Desktop publishing and graphic design where I've been until recently, working freelance and running a community resource centre in Herefordshire. 2005 saw me landing a job at the Herefordshire Council as an integrated transport officer where I now promote alternatives to car use such as cycling. Married, no kids. Anyone remember these names? Nick Warshaw, TC Schultz, Timothy Barr, Philip Sasson? Love to hear from you.

G'day all! I left in '94 to go to the Timbertop campus of Geelong Grammar in Australia, and finished of my secondary schooling at the GGS Senior-School in 1997. In '98 I took a year off study and travelled back to Europe to mostly work in a German boarding school as an assistant English teacher and managed to get my German to a reasonable level. Since I arrived back in Aus in 1999 I've been studying a combined degree of Science/Forest Science at The University of Melbourne, focusing mostly on Environmental Science and Geology and living at Trinity College. My brother, Chris, joined me here last year. I've been keeping myself busy rowing and playing a little rugby, as well as the odd hike and when necessary a little study. It was great to read up on what everyone's been doing with themselves since I left and would greatly appreciate catching up with all those I've sadly lost touch with over the years.

Finishing off a degree in Film and Literature Studies at the University of Cape Town, it's going well alongside my work as a writer and the DJing career. I was friends with the infamous Phillippe Ammann if that jogs anyone's memory.

Hi I would have graduated in 2001 but I left BSN in 1986 to go just next door to Belgium to go to the BSB which I stayed at until I graduated in 1997. I then went to Uni to study BA (Hons) Retail Management for 4 years and came out of that with a 2:1 - yes, I suprised even myself with that one! I then worked in Finance for a year and a half as a Securities Administrator, which soon bored me half to death so I went travelling for 8 months to the Cook Islands, New Zealand (which I fell in love with and did the Nevis Bungee - 2nd highest in the world!!) and of course Oz!

I attended BSN from '74-'80. I had a great time and a lot of good memories: especially beating the French School 7-0 while Julian Crabb played for them. My brother Stuart and I moved back to Liverpool in '80. My parents and I only stayed for 1 year and then we moved to Pasadena, California. What a culture shock that was: from Toxteth riots to Margaritas on the beach. I went to San Diego State University until I was kicked out for poor grades....what did you expect from a Scouser going to PlayBoy's #1 party school in the nation in 1984. I graduated from Cal State Los Angeles in International Business and went to work for a computer monitor manufacturer called ViewSonic. Kept up the career in football, playing semi-pro on the So. Cal circuit. In '94, I opened up the European sales office for ViewSonic and lived in Reading for 2 years. Married my longtime girlfriend Yvette in the same registry office as John Lennon and then in '96 decided that I couldn't live in England anymore: it was doing my head in. Transferred back to So Cal, bought a house had a baby girl (Skylar Sarah) and I've got a dog: Henry (he thought his name was mad b*****d for the first 6 mos.!). Life is good. Richard Kooyenga and I hooked up for a session a month ago (he is definitely a nutter) and I've received e-mails form Julian Crabb and Nadia Paull. If anyone has contact with Alan Pinchbeck tell him the mad scouser is on the look out for him. Drop a note to say hello. God Bless Liverpool F.C.!

Wow! Seems that I'm one of the old ones. I entered the English School when it was in an old barracks in Scheveningen in 1954. A long tram ride with a transfer from the Waasenaar line to the No. 9 up to Scheveningen. Went Stateside in 55 and came back in 58 to 60, when the whole school moved from Tapijt Weg to Park Weg. I remember at Tapijt Weg we had the Haagse Park and the Park Weg location was much more restricted. All, of course, had Prince Charles' picture framed on the classroom walls. If I had stayed for 6 more months, I would have "had" my "O" levels and missed two years of High School in the US, with all the consequential damage referred to in science fiction stories. That sort of makes me a 1960 Top Former. Still have my Prefect pin! After Rutgers U. I became attached to the US Army for a long time. My wife, Joyce, and I run a staffing service in North Jersey now. Boys 23, 16 and a daughter of 13 round out the crew. We're looking forward to a Euro vacation sometime soon.

I left BSN in 1994 and moved back to Buckinghamshire. Did a degree in European Studies and Spanish at the University of Manchester, which included a year in Madrid teaching English to Spanish students. Put me off teaching for life! Did various things for about a year after graduating, including work at a theatre and providing academic support to students with disabilities. Am now working for a business information provider in the Home Counties, monitoring and analysing business press for corporate reports. Still playing hockey although the knees are starting to get a bit old and rickety now! Would love to hear from other Class of 1998 members.

My sisters and I left BSN in 1994 and moved back to Buckinghamshire. After doing GCSEs and A-Levels, I studied BA (Hons) in European Studies and Spanish at Manchester. I spent a year in Madrid teaching in a secondary school during the third year of the course and I also managed to study history and Dutch as minor subjects as part of my degree. After I graduated, I did some work as an academic support worker for students with disabilities and continued working part-time in a theatre. I now work as an analyst for a business press monitoring firm, translating Spanish news items and writing business-related news articles for corporate clients. I'm now married and live in the Midlands. I still play hockey which takes up most of my weekends!

[Class of 1983]
I was given the address of this site by Simon Buesnel (Class of '83) - many thanks Simon. There are some very familiar names here. I left the B.S.N. and Holland in 1977 (aged 12) after 4 years - arguably the best 4 years of my life - and came to live in Buxton, Derbyshire with my parents. After they moved on (about 1986), I decided to stay and have lived here ever since. I now have my own small company selling silicone coated release paper (on behalf of a French company) and various packaging materials. I used to keep in touch with Nicola Clarke (now Hill - married with 2 children last time I spoke to her), but unfortunately lost her address when I moved house about 4 years ago. On a personal note I am not married (living in sin!) and have 2 small boys (3 and 9 months). As a consequence I now have plenty of grey hair!! For those who remember me, you will be pleased to know I still occasionally turn out on a Sunday morning for a local football team. The main reason being I get asked on their annual trip to Amsterdam for the week-end around Easter. Also, as most of the players are 19-20 it means that at a ripe old age of 36, they can do my running for me! Would love to hear from any old friends - please mail me.

I know she was living in Italy for ages working as a teacher. And what about Susan Raistrick? I left Holland in year 11 to go to boarding school in North Wales and then moved with my parents to Buxton, Derbyshire. I have been married for 18 years and have 4 kids aged 10 - 16. I spent many years at home being a full time Mum and became an expert in nappies and breast feeding! Now my children are launched and I work full time as a maths teacher (you can blame Keith Tong!). I love my job in a Prep school in South Manchester.

Hi all, Thought I'd best update you on my life.. everytime I write one of these, three years seem to fly by and I'm back again writing another ! Still with Cheshire Police, been there six years now, I'm almost certainly a lifer there.... Currently Systems Administrator for the Crime System - all good fun - I'm basically the link between the business, users of the system and the technical support for the system if you don't know what one is... and I really enjoy it. How I got into this this after gaining a 2/2 Sociology and Theatre Studies degree at Liverpool Hope Uni in 99, I'll never know... but its a nice place to work and I have a nice little number and i'm happy.... at the minute anyway ! Been doing lots and got lots on this year... went away to the Carribean for two weeks just before Christmas - met a fantastic crowd out there and have booked to go again with a couple of them in September. Also got a few more weddings and hen do's this year too - lots of people going serious on me and getting married these days - all seems far too much for me just yet... Was in Netherlands visiting family last year - went to see the BSN and it just looks like one big grand spaceship - nothing compared to my days there from 91-96... Hope you're all well - send me an email if you get the urge. Lynda xxx

Have made yet another trip over to the UK where we managed a mini reunion in London 3 weeks ago; we had half a (numerous) medal winning ISST hockey team made up of '89 & '90 ex-BSNers made up of: Rebekah Webb, Natalie McNulty, Izzy Mota, Nicki Baur and Maria Bennett, and me! (I think we'd still put those youngsters through their paces!!). I also caught up with Sue Robinson up in Macclesfield (now a teacher, and married) and also Lisa Grigg (who left at end of 5th year and now working for an accountants in London). This was all followed by Natalie, Andrea and Rebekah carving up the slopes in Bulgaira (and sampling vast quantities of cabbage washed down by local wines, spirits and beers - at only 50p each!). Then it was off to Rome to visit Eva Mohler for a couple of days then out to see Helen (nee Kanakis) and Tim Davies out in New Orleans.

Worked for 9 years for a Marketing Consultancy in Haywards Heath, West Sussex. Attended a BSN school re-union with Jax sometime towards the end of 90's and met up with people like Tony Credland, Andy Hewitt, Ali Rowley, Mark Brown, David O'Neill, John Lawrence and Marianne Wood (my ex next door neighbour). Kept in touch with Ali for a while but the last I heard she was going to South Africa to get married (does anyone have any up to date news on her?). I moved back home to Basingstoke about 3 years ago and now work for IBM. Jax is still in Eastbourne we got together last weekend and she says to say Hi to anyone who remembers her.

Tony Garvin
[Class of 1983]
I joined what was then the English School in Holland in 1969 and left what became later BSN in 1981. I spent 4 years at college here in Cornwall and enjoyed every minute of it. I then joined the Army, wow what an experience, travelled around a bit, i.e. 11 addresses in 5 years, did a few short tours here and there, couple of back breaking courses like P Company and Commando Logistics and finished up out in the Gulf. Offered my third tape after 5 years, but declined on the grounds that the job's I was doing was indicative to my health and resigned. Came back to Cornwall for a nice peaceful quiet life. I returned to scouting which was something I really enjoyed whilst at BSN, now do far to much in it, but that's another long story. Although on a joint Scouting and Guiding canoe training weekend I did meet my future wife Beth. We eventually got married in Pendennis Castle in August 98. After leaving the army I started to work for the Local Government as a highways surveyor, changing trades to then qualify as a geoenvironmental engineer. That was fun for a few years, but further progression meant leaving the county, which now i'm home, I'm not really keen on doing. So another change, into the world of Public Rights Of Ways and enforcement, they pay me to walk in the countryside and to inspect the costal footpaths. I think I've now landed on my feet, it's a brilliant job, a few tate a tates with the odd obnoxious landowner, but you cant have everything your way. If you're ever in Cornwall and fancy a coffee give me a call. It would be good to hear from some of the old crowd, if your still out there alive a kicking.

my name is Christina Gee and I was in the BSN from 1993 to 2003. I left half way through year 10, and my class finishing year would have been 2006. Since I left BSN in year 10, I've been in highschool in Canberra, Australia. I'm now in college, studying drama, photography, maths (boo! shame its compulsory), English, Spanish and history. I hope Mr Cliff doesn't get too peeved when he discovers I've dropped French. life in Canberra is ridiculously boring, although the people are nice. I do miss Holland, and the Friday night drinking binges, although my health has probably been vastly improved due to my move out here. no cirrhosis of the liver for me, thanks!

From BSN i went to Oxford Brookes uni, but by christmas I had had enough of the lack of creative aspects to the course, , so I went back to holland and worked for a few months while searching for a new one. September 2005 I got accepted to Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, where I'm now in my 3rd and final year, studying Creative music technology...and its a much better course than the one at Brookes!

Left BSN in 1988 headed for St. John's College Oxford to read Chemistry. After four fun years of rowing and acadaemia (in that order), I set off to get a proper job and joined Exxon. I stayed long enough to finish my accounting exams before deciding on yet another radical change into the world of management consulting. A significant amount of my time was spent travelling, especially to the USA, so two years ago, I decided to make the move across the Atlantic. I'm currently working for Coopers & Lybrand Consulting in the USA, where I'm a senior manager in the IT strategy practice. Although I spend most of my time here, I do make it back to the UK for several weeks a year (we still have our home in London). I married my husband, Ian Wright (also an expatriot Briton), earlier this year. My first business book is due to be published next year. I'd be interested to hear from any staff and ex-pupils who may have known me, so go ahead and publish my e-mail address. Good luck with the web page. It made my month to find you!

Hello...I would have been part of the 1993 class but I left BSN (Mrs Tong's class) back in Dec 1985 to go and live just 20 mins south of Rome (in Italy, more precisely Frascati where my dad worked for Esrin-ESA) until 1995, year in which I left for London for a degree in film. I graduated in 1998 and came back to Rome where I worked for 2 years editing and then changed profession completely: I am now a fully qualified midwife and for the past year have been working in a busy Roman hospital delivering babies (bambini!). However I am now starting to apply for midwifery jobs in the UK cos things aren't too good here for midwives and also jobwise it isn't great for many young people (we have a really awful government here!). I would also like to do an MSc in Demography at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine so I'll probably be looking for jobs in the London area....but I know I'm going to miss Italy so much, not only for the sun and the fresh fruit but also for the people. I've recently heard from Claire Endean and Lise Fuller. I often wonder what's become of the Estec bus people such as Sarah Trigg, Louise Daly, Liam Crellin (who was also in my class) and Smita Chaturvedi....It's so weird to read about people who used to be in my class such as Iris Qureshi, Rebecca Jay, Nicola Bretherton!

Left BSN in 1989 and went to North Staffs Poly where I also bumped into Andy Smethurst's brother. Played rugby for North Staffs where we won the Poly's cup in 1991 beating Oxford in the final. Bumped in to many former BSN pupils on my rugby travels. After Poly I started a career in purchasing which for my sins I am still pursuing at present. I currently work for a national housebuilder based in Harefield, Middx. Parents moved to Texas in 1990 which meant plenty of cheap holidays for me and my brother, who incidentally lives two streets away from me. Rather spookily Caroline and Marianne Wood's parents moved to within 2 minutes drive of my parents in the US so we still keep in contact with them albeit not as frequently as perhaps we should. Had to end rugby career due to body not being able to keep up anymore !! I did keep in touch with Adam Plumb for a while and in fact even shared a flat with him for a while but haven't heard from him for a few years, although I still send a xmas card to his brother and parents. I currently live in Aylesbury, Bucks along with long suffering girlfriend of 9 years. No kids as yet but then hey I'm still a spring chicken.

I'm currently in my first year at Oxford studying Music in Worcester - the same college as Kevin McMullan, who I bumped into in fresher's week wearing a BSN rugby tour T-shirt!

I work in Birmingham centre for Deloitte & Touche as an IT consultant although in any given week I am usually in some far flung part of the country, which is convenient for keeping in touch with people. Nick is living in Nottingham and working part-time while pursuing his rock-band ambitions. His band plays regular gigs around the midlands so if you see "Crawll" advertised, go and have a look. I've already heard from several people through this page, looking forward to hearing from more. Just a final note to update Gary's slightly out of date details, he and Helen are now engaged to be married next August. About time too!

[Class of 1993]
Having been a link from my brother's details for about a year now, it is time to update the (incorrect) details therein. Having left BSN in 1993 I drank, lied and cheated my way to a BSc in Maths from Nottingham (no, not the Trent) and it was almost inevitable that I then joined PKF Chartered Accountants in Guildford in 1997 for a life of study, auditing and (thankfully) plenty more booze. However, having noted the ridiculous pay packages of my friends in the City, I duly passed my exams and cunningly followed suit having just joined Credit Suisse First Boston down in Canary Wharf, though I haven't figured out what I'm supposed to be doing yet. Needless to say I am still in touch with a lot of the BSN crowd and even manage to meet up with them in London on occassion, given that I'm living in the severe suburbs. On that note the most important part of my life since 1993 has been my on-going relationship with Helen Niblo (also ex-BSN) for almost seven (!) years, who moved in (!?!) in September 2000 and now teaches rugrats in deepest Surrey. Pressure to get married is intense. So if anyone wants to spend time with me before this eventuality then please feel free to get in contact and we'll arrange something silly.

Paul Gyswyt
[Class of 1972]
Hi, my name is Paul Gyswyt and I spent one year at the English School on Tapijtweg 10, leaving in summer 1972. I grew up near Philadelphia (USA) and in late '69 moved to Holland; first graduating from the American High School before attending the English School. Both my parents are Dutch nationals and returning to Holland allowed me to meet many relatives and experience Dutch culture, sports and weather. I have only good memories of both schools and invite any old classmates to email me. Names that come to mind are Bart Lelyveld, Ramy Karin, Frances and Simon, there are many others that remain as faces only. I returned to upstate New York in '72 and graduated as a civil engineer from Syracuse University in '77. Since then I have worked in the US power plant industry, particularly civil/structural engineering for nuclear power facilities. I now live in Southern California with my wife and three children.

[Class of 1968]
By accident I stumbled upon the BSNOSA website and was instantly transported back to the happy days I had spent from 1964 to 1968 at what was then called the English School - first at Tapijtweg and then at Parkweg. During this period my father was posted at the Pakistan Embassy in The Hague. I returned to Pakistan in June 1968 and have since then essentially remained here. In 1980 I got my MBA degree and started working thereafter. I got married in 1986 and now have a 16 year old son and two daughters ages 13 and 7. I am presently based in Islamabad and working in public relations for a company manufacturing and marketing seeds, fertilizers and PVC resin. The years spent in Holland were memorable ones. I can still remember the good times with my classmates - Konrad Bartelski, Linda Randolph, Martin Tomberg, Susan Manson, Sally Johnson, David Marshall, Rupert Morse, Nicola Carr North and Alison Turner to name a few. They all called me " Weedy". Mrs. Donaldson was the principal and my last class teacher was Miss Binns. I also remember Miss Henderson the geography teacher, Mr. Day who would throw chalks at those not paying attention and Mr. Quine in his lab in the attic at Parkweg. I wonder how they all are and what are they up to?

[Class of 1998]
I was born in The Netherlands and attended the BSN from Year 1 (1985-6) to Year 8 (1992-3). I left The Netherlands with my family in 1993 and moved to Kingston, Surrey where I attended Kingston Grammar School and gained 10 GCSEs (including one in Dutch through the Dutch Embassy in London!). I attended Tiffin Girls' School for my A levels where I took Economics, English Literature and German. In 1998 I attended the University of Southampton (where my husband and I met) and I completed a four-year BSc (Hons) in Economics & German, which involved spending a year in Germany. I worked at the Bayerische Landesbank in M�nchen for that year. Since graduation I have held a number of accountancy-related roles in large organisations in the Surrey area such as Nestl�, ACNielsen and KBR and I am now working as a Financial Analyst in London whilst completing my CIMA (Management Accountancy qualification) Finals. I got married last summer and my husband and I have bought a place just a 20-minute train ride from Central London. Members of staff may be interested to know about my dad, Fazl-E Hasnain, who was on the Board of Governors of the BSN in the early 1990s. Although he has officially retired as a Chartered Accountant, he remains active in the community. He has been a member of the Richmond & Kingston Area Board of Young Enterprise and a Young Enterprise advisor at Tiffin Girls' School for the last 10 years. He also acts as an external examiner for a couple of modules at Kingston University's Business School. Most recently he has been appointed to the Board of Governors at Tiffin Girls' School. He has found that being on the Board of Governors of a state school presents many different challenges compared to those faced by the BSN!

Hello! Far too long since I had any contact with a lot of former BSN friends, but it doesn't take long to sort that out! Having left the BSN in 1993, I went to Surrey University to study Electrical & Electronic Engineering. Last year I successfully completed that and left with a Masters degree in the subject. Other achievements during that time included captaining the first XV rugby team for a very successful season, in which we gained promotion, and became regional university champs! I now work for Fujitsu Telecommunications Europe, based in Birmingham, and have done for just over a year now. I'm involved in the development and design of chips (not the oven type!) for the industry. Jolly exciting! As for contacts with former BSNers, not doing so well there. Needless to say I'd love to hear from any former colleagues of the BSN years.

After completing my Bachelor of Commerce I worked in Perth for a short while and then moved to Canberra for a six month stint, and then on to Sydney. All the while I continued to do a Grad Dip in Wine Business which puzzled my employer Coca-Cola. After around three years with them I completed my Grad Dip and left in 2002 to join Distinguished Vineyards, a specialist wine company that owns and distributes premium Australian wine (yes, Australia does actually make wine of a better quality than Jacobs Creek...). Currently living in Bondi, Sydney (where it seems every other person is a British backpacker!) with a couple of mates and would love to hear from anyone who I may have (or even may not have) known back in the day.

I (very sadly) left BSN after GCSEs in 1990 to return to England for A levels. Shortly after that followed 9 months working in Melbourne planning to go to Hull on my return to read German and Dutch (with Carolyn Savage among others - whatever has happened to her?). That, however was not to be, and I finally made it to uni 4 years later. I followed an 'interesting' path through uni and graduated from Coventry University in business administration - not the course I started - last year (1999). As a result of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, in the wrong company (or so the story goes...), I am now reading for a PhD, still at Coventry, and teaching economics, manufacturing management and engineering design (???). Those of you who remember me may well remember that my life revolved around my horses, and to an extent it still does; I now have a little dog and a partner to complete the picture.

I joined BSN at the Junior School in Scheveningen around 1982. My first memories are from the 'Hereward' school play which we put on. I played the lead and my dad stole the night by being the only parent videoing the whole event :) The next year it was Eric the Viking or something similar - can anyone help me out? I moved on to the senior school in Voorschoten where I was great friends with Hannah Barlow - fellow hockey player - whom I have since lost touch with. Many other names here bring back fab memories too. I left Holland in 1988 (but would have been Class of 1993) to return to the UK. I did school/A levels/University in quick succession, then went out to work to earn money for beer. Joined MSAS as Finance trainee in 96 and managed to con them into paying for me to travel the world under the guise of working :) Now living and working in Dublin, still working for MSAS (although now called Exel) as an accountant-type-bod.

Mind you, you also remember the wacky ones, and we had them too (you know who you are - don't you?). Spent 7 years in Edinburgh after degrees, then moved to Stoke Newington (London) in 1985, and we're still here. We also have a house in Lincolnshire, which gives us the best of both worlds. Still with Douglas, 2 children, both boys, all exactly as I would wish. I'm now a Nursery Headteacher, after a first career as a John lewis Partnership manager. Douglas is teaching Geography, very well, at secondary level (all that Mark Wynne inspiration) - he went into teaching pretty soon after doing his degree.

Am currently scribing what I trust is not a lesser female novel while temping as a medical secretary. Yo, I can spell bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. In between I went to a couple more schools, did a degree in French with Italian (including a year at the Universite de Lausanne), administered a medical research unit, became second author of two papers published in the British Journal of Rheumatology, campaigned against a certain fatwa, had pneumonia twice (is this a record?), wrote lots and lots of satirical if not satanic verses

[Class of 1997]
I finished from bsn(year 13) in 1997. I have since then been in Michigan State University, Michigan. Thankfully, I got credit for my A'levels, so I'd be a junior by the end of the summer semester I'm currently in. Its hectic but fun, I get really into my core (chemical engineering) by fall, so I'm looking foward to that. Lately, I have only taken 1 chemical engineering class, because I had to take a bunch of University and college requirements. Its been cool though, but I'm glad its almost over.

Uche Ilobi
[Class of 2000]
I'm Uche Ilobi. I used to go to the BSN from Yr 7 in 1995 i believe, and then I left it in Yr 11 in 1998. I didn't leave Holland, but i still met old friends once in a while. People like Lisa Ewans, Angie Doucette, Tara Ellwood and Katie Linton were all people i knew quite well once. They were friends. I can be counted in with them in the Class of 2000. I would like to be included in the list of old timers. I am in University here in Holland and in my 3rd Year of Physical Geography. I would appreciate a response.

[Class of 1985]
I have wonderful memories of my time at BSN.... and remembering how I wanted to get back there when I was at boarding school! Survived both and have recently moved to Auckland NZ having spent the past 7 years working and living in Asia (Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam and HK). I am married with three beautiful daughters. The expat life style has continued to run through the family, my sister Jane is in Singapore working with Burger King (oh and being a mum to 4 children!), Paul is in Wellington working for NZ's largest energy co (married with 4 children). Tim is in Bangkok working with Nestle (married with a little daughter) and Mary-Kate is about to finish her studies in Melbourne. I am not in contact with anyone from BSN however was in touch with Ian Davies up to about 1999 or so.......It would be great to hear from anyone who remembers me.

I thought it was about time i updated my entry on the website!! Well, i'm back living in Melbourne, Australia after having spent last year travelling around Asia and Europe. I began a masters in development studies this year, which sadly did not turn out to be for me, so i'm now just working part time and looking to start a whole new undergraduate degree in nutrition and dietetics next year.Its a bit of a wild card, but i'm hoping to eventually put it to fruition within the development field! In the mean time i'm off to Singapore and Vietnam for a couple of months to visit my sister Jane who is living in Singapore with her husband and two daughters, and my brother Martin, who is about to move from Singapore to Vietnam with his wife and three daughters. Tim and Paul are also doing well. Paul now has three children and Tim is getting married next year. I'm still in touch with a few BSNers but would love to continue hearing from anyone who remembers me!

In Sept 2000 I married Louisa and live happily with Elisha and our newborn Holly Louise who arrived on the 5th Feb 2002. very much the proud dad now.

[Class of 1976]
Congratulations on your web site! It makes people like me who don't understand pens paper and stamps come out of the wood work! I used to look at the BSN mailer and think: those poor bastards from '69, God they must be old! Now I am one of the poor bastards from '76 and like my predecessors my year slowly dwindles off the pages of the BSN mailer. But NOT so! Your new 'e-mailer' shall bring them out of the wood work! Whilst we did not know each other, reference me back to MIke Weston, John Cliff, Pam or my buddy Van der Swan. In my day they were still all nervous 20 somethings struggeling with a new country and a new job. PLease share this mail with Mike, John and Pam (who I still keep in regular contact). As for me - I have'nt changed much (I hope) other than the extra 10 kilo's - I'm still regularly accused of being immature by managers (18 till I die!). I work for an multi national software house (SCO) where I am responsible for our international marketing. I have lived in Hertfordshire for 20 years and my wife (Denise, who is 10 years my junior) is about to produce our first child next week! In my 'free time' (ha, ha - what is that??) I am doing an MBA with the Open University. I am 3/4 done, 'only' 1 more year!! Before the MBA I acquired a pilot's licence and flew light aircraft for 10 years for fun (I really am a sad person, I obvious hate free time), but that has been put on the back burner over the last 8 months or so. In between, I am taking professional guitar lessons. Anyone who saw me play in '76 will understand why this is a wise investment - I may be crap, but I still try)!!! Mike & John may be pleased to know that I still actively use the German & French I learned as part of my job, and have been known to spue forth on computer subjects in French & German - my motto is: forget the grammer, just talk fast - hopefully they won't notice!! I still regularly think back to balmy June days sitting with Mike Weston, Barabara and Caroline in that tiny little room upstairs next to the loo's looking out the window at the swaying trees of the French school next door whilst seriously captivated by Mike's rendition of 'Doktor somethng's Gesammeltes Schweigen'. These are golden moments captured for life. Sadly, my knowledge (is that the right word ?) of Tudors & Stuarts so expertly imparted by Pam doesn't go down very well when discussing Unix operating systems! Anyway for all those equally ageing sods like me I can be contacted on email: vincej@sco.com. Thanks a billion all the staff at the English School of the Hague (as was). Without question they were the happiest years of my life! It is a privledge to have known you all. When you are down and fed up remember you are influencing lives for decades in to the future, you are shaping human beings, other than parents you guys are in the most priveledged position - keep up the courage ! Should any of you be in Herts I'd be glad to share a glass or two!!

Left the BSN in 1984. I have now left Birmingham for the pleasures of suburban Wigan, where I now have a post as consultant anaesthetist with an interest in chronic pain. I am married to Laura - a GP - who is taking time out to look after our 18 month daughter Kathryn. We toy with ideas of short trips to Holland and elsewhere on the continent, but practical toddler problems like car sickness and keeping still on air line seats have put paid to these thoughts for the immediate future.

I was in the class of 1997, however, I left BSN in 1991 to move to Cincinnati, Ohio, in the U.S. where I went to High School. I did my A Levels at boarding school in England, then went to university in Scotland/Germany/Belgium. I have moved around a great deal and have lived in a total of 9 different countries-including countries in West Africa, the Tropics, and Europe... Madness! I am currently living in Antwerp, Belgium. If anyone remembers me from the days of being in Mr. Richardson's class (J4) in the Junior School, and then Mr. Embleton's class in what I think was S1 in the Senior school, then please get in touch. I used to be on the gymnastics and swim teams. I have been trying to track down Angela Irving for years (her sister is Joanna-both were also gymnasts) and I wonder if anyone has any idea where she is. I heard years ago that they moved back to England at some point. Does anyone remember or have any idea about several people that were in my class? Firstly Henrik (I think he was Danish, and had blond hair and blue eyes) then there was Oliver (also blond and blue eyed, Frederick, and Cyril B. (a French chappy, dark brown hair) Also, does anyone know what happened to Claire Van de Heyden? She moved to the U.S. a little before I did. I do not remember the guys' surnames nor am I certain that is the correct spelling of Claire's last name. If you remember me, or know the emails of those I mentioned please do let me hear from you! Hugs, Sandra

I left the BSN in 1988 but had I stayed I would have completed the 6th form in 1991. Since leaving I completed my degree at Manchester in Computer Science and I work as an IT Consultant near London. Alexia pointed me to this web site and I've already heard from Kate de V. I'm also in contact with Rachel Kelly and Graham Booth, both from our year. My sister Eleanor (Class of 1996 I think!) has just finished the third year of her medical degree.

I left the BSN in 1998 (end of year 9); had I stayed I would have been part of the 2002 class. I had been in the BSN schools all my life up until that point. I was really pleased to find this site as I have lost contact with so many people! After I left Holland we moved to Bath (UK) where I finished my A-levels. I then went to Manchester uni to study criminology in hope of being a probation officer, after a year there I realised I didn't want to be a probation officer at all so left to take a gap year! I am now back in Bath in a lovely little flat with my B/F and am working as an event organiser, sending stag parties, hen parties and corporate groups off all over the place. I seem to have landed on my feet with this job as I get to travel around a bit and do things like mud buggy racing and quad biking! I love my job so I'm hoping to move up the ladder here and then who knows?! There are so many people I would love to hear from and catch up with .. anyone really! It would be so nice to hear from any body who remembers me so drop me a quick e-mail! J x

After leaving, I joined the wonderful world of IT and have for the past 12 years been working for SystemForum in Copenhagen as a senior salesconsultant working with our large account customers. I married Allan (also a Jensen, therefore no name change!!) in 1992 and in 1993 we had our son Patrick and Emma (inspired by Jane Austin's "Emma" which we did for A-levels - hope you see this Judith Fabian!!) followed in Aug. 1995. We have a house right between Copenhagen and Elsinor (Helsingor) in Holte/Sollerod. My parents came back to Denmark last year and have just moved back into there "old" house approx. 5 min. drive from our house. I have changed job, and now working for GE Capital IT Solutions. My brother John (left BSN in '84/85 ??) married Christel last year and had a beautiful baby girl on the 6th of September 1998 - her name is Clara !! I still keep in touch with a few people but would love to hear from more !! This was just a VERY short update - between work, travelling, kids (especially Patrick's activities icehockey (2 x a week) soccer (2 x a week) and golf (1 x a week) - wonder what Emma will choose when time comes ??), familiy, friends and our own golf - we feel that we have quite a full time schedule - and we love it !!

Here is my mini biography. Both my sisters, Heather & Debbie, have been nagging me to enter my biography, so if either of you are checking up on me..here I am! I am in contact with several school pals, but still unable to find Nicola Carr-North, does anyone know where she is? After leaving Holland in 1970 I joined the Midland Bank where I enjoyed 26 years service! Banking has changed dramatically in recent years so this, coupled with a health scare, prompted me search for a new venture. For the last 4 years I have thoroughly enjoyed managing a Building Society Agency. I have sadly never married (just couldn't find that perfect partner!! still looking though!) so no children, but plenty of nieces and nephews. Would love to hear from anyone who remembers me. Skiing has been my passion for nearly 20 years, and I am now one of those avid Line Dancers that everyone groans at!!!!
