Kent School Association

Hi, I was at Kent School from 1970 -2 and would like to know if anyone is touch with an old friend of mine Selwyn Loizeau? Our folks were both based in Bracht. We did meet up as serving soldiers but lost contact when Selwyn left the forces.

Hi David - My brother John and I were in Bracht at the same time as you and Selwyn - we lived on Agristasse in the house in front of Selwyn. I don't know how many other people you remember from that time. I'm afraid I don't know of Selwyns whereabouts but I have been in touch with Alec Porter, Theresa Nethercot and Sue Enmarsh who were in bracht at that time. Cheers Jane

Hi Jane,
Wow what a surprise! was your house looking over the playing field then or was it facing the main road? As i'm getting a little older the old brain cells are not working like they once did (if they ever did). I kind of remember you guys....

we had the house in the far corner over looking the playing fields, next door was Alan and David Hewett. n the other side of the road was Francis and Sylvia Joquin and Gina and Elaine Grantham. Tina and Mary Lane were at the other end of Selwyns block. I don't know if you were there when Rosemary and Mike Tate were there - Other names (from Op De Haag) were Terry Innes, Ian Simpson, Tyrone Burton....and Hannis Grant? maybe you can fill some gaps in my memory for me? Do you remember building dens over by the christmas tree plantation which was behind the playing fields? or going swimming at the german school - oh and the Rose Monday carnival? and the Fair?

Blimey Jane, and you expect me to fill in your memory! Have you ever thought of being on Master Mind? You were the bright one from what i remember(and the cute one)haha.
Yeah, i do remember the dens in the christmas tree plantation and the swimming pool/fair. They were fantastic times weren't they?
Do you remember the big cherry tree that bordered the park from the Germans garden. Boy them cherries were so nice! If i remembered correctly your old man wouldn't allow you guys to get involved when we were raiding the tree?
So what are you doing now after all these years Jane?

I know my dad wouldn't let us get involved with anyrhing that looked remotely intersting! I remeber the huge row we got into after the german kids raided one of our dens- John punched one of the lads ( or missed him and hit a tree) and ended up in Wegburg with a broken knuckle. While he was there the German police hauled eveyone off and find each one 600 marks for causing damage to the trees! Were you still there when the youth club opened? prior to that we used to have "discos" at each others houses -or Wortham Hall on the camp. do you remember the swimming pool on the camp where the changing rooms were marquies? I'll email you with the "life story" stuff!
