These pages are for the members of the 1956-59 Honours Physics course at the University of Bristol and those from the General Science course who joined them for some of their lectures.
We returned to the Seeley’s Hotel, St Paul’s Road for our fourth reunion, on 17th July 2004, and found it to be as successful venue as before. The only possible quibble is that during the two years since our previous reunion the menu had not changed. We returned to the Seeley’s for our 5th reunion on Saturday July 22nd, 2006, this year being the 50th anniversary of when we all “went up” to Bristol. Frightening!
It had been our intention to hold another reunion in 2009, the 50th anniversary of our graduation. Unfortunately the Seeley’s Hotel is no longer in business, having now been converted into twelve flats. Although we’ve done our best to find a suitable replacement in the Clifton area, we’ve been unsuccessful (although we did find several eminently unsuitable places!) so, sadly there will be no reunion this year.
There are still some members of the group who have not yet attended a reunion and we realise that, in some cases at least, this may be because of a reluctance to travel large distances. If anyone feels like organising a mini-reunion in their own corner of the world, they are welcome to do so. My offer of a mini-reunion in West Cumbria still stands, if anyone is intrepid enough to make the journey. (No, Brian - the trip from Carnforth to Seascale does not fall into the “intrepid” category!)
One final note: My email address has now changed to johnatjololadotplusdotcom, where the “at” and the two “dot”s are replaced with the obvious symbols.
