Hello and welcome to all residents, visitors and friends of Kingswood, Bristol.

This is my personal Internet contribution to KGS and KOSA.

Let me introduce myself and say hello again, after so many years, to all former pupils and staff - be they friends or foes.

My name is Bob Meaker - maybe some of you will remember me and write a line or two in my KGS Guestbook - but hopefully not those who:

1. I still owe money to.
(I can send you Euros, but you'll have to wait a while)
2. I fought with in the school.
(That means than none of the boys will write)
3. I cribbed from.
(Ok - so none of the girls will write either)
4. Had longer hair than I did at the time.
(I don't think there was anyone, apart from the girls)
5. I had fun with behind the bike sheds.
(Just a joke - we didn't indulge in such things at KGS in the 60's)
6. Don't like Rock 'n Roll, or the Beatles, or the Stones, or steam trains.
(Or skinny dipping in Wick quarry)
7. I borrowed records from.
(Especially - Roger Slade and Ronnie Rawbone - Hi friends)
8. Were teechers hoo tawt me Inglisch and want to korrekt my spellin.
(Forget it - it's too late - you can't teach an old Bob new tricks)

OK - As you can see, I'm still a joker ... but seriously:
For all of you who don't know, there is a superb magazine, produced by the
"Kingswood Old Scholars Association", called the KOSA NEWS.

I've been receiving the "KOSA NEWS" magazine, here in Spain, for some time now and hope that someone out there can do something in the way of creating and maintaining a "KOSA" website which will do justice to both the old scholars' magazine and the school itself.

We were together during the formative years, so why can't we use the new tech to exchange anecdotes, photos, email addresses, etc. I will try to collect and pass on as much information as I can. The rest is up to you! Thanks - Bob Meaker.

PS - You can read some more about me and the others on the "profiles page"
