Hi Mike and welcome I hope you enjoy the site and read some of the old posts, you can look at old photos and notes by clicking on skydrive on the left hand menu, by the way feel free to add any old photos that you may have to any of the folders there, you also have your own online storage space again called skydrive but this is accessed from the top menu bar under the dropdown menu "MORE" in there you can create and store up to 25 gigs of files, these can be private or public or both depending on how you set your preferences, anyway enjoy the site and I hope you contact someone you knew at the Tech. Please add a headshot to your profile, this is easy to do and can be a recent one or you can download the school photo from your year, make sure you remember where you save it on your hard-drive then click on the blank headshot in your profile and when prompted upload to windows live where you can resize it to just your headshot, this could also be a recent photo on your PC, any problems please ask and any of us will help

Thanks for the welcome. I was at Bath Technical School during the transition years to it being merged with Westhill and becoming Culverhay School. For my first five years (68-73) I was at Brougham Hayes and then for my sixth form years I moved to the Rush Hill

I lived in Melksham and commuted to Bath each day by bus. Names I remember from that time and who came in by bus from Melksham, include Mike Curd, David Laister, and Neil Laird. Mike Curd had an older brother Brian whose photo I've spotted captioned on the site. Other people from the year include David E. Reynolds, who was very into technology and built his own analogue computer and ? Coleman who was a keen amateur astronomer.

I chose the school because I was interested in science and technology and it turned out to be a good decision.

I left school in 1975 to go to University at London UCL and from there went on to do a PhD at Cambridge in the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology. From there I moved to the Department of Pathology, Cambridge University where I still am as an academic, Reader in Therapeutic and Molecular Immunology.

Welcome aboard Mike. You will enjoy the workings of this site. My son & family live in Cambridge so I may head your way to see them at some stage. Daughter-in-law has just been made redundant when the Forensic Science Service closed at Huntingdon. Her background was more biological though. Regards Graham Priest

Hi Mike. Although you followed me by a good many years I can still recognise the old Bath Tec spirit. You have had a most distinguished career, which is more than most of us can claim although I like to think that because of our excellent training at such a unique school we have all contributed something to society. Please continue to enjoy the site, but I think you will soon realise that most of us are as crazy as a box of frogs and tend not to take life too seriously in our dotage. Good luck............Sticky.
