Members of the Class of 1960 met up recently to reminisce about their time at The Cambridgeshire High School for Boys.

Over 3 days they visited the school, wandered from Cambridge to Grantchester and back, ate food and drunk a lot. For some it was the first sighting of one another for 56 years. As the photo shows, most (sorry Roger) still had hair and fairly trim physiques. Certainly fit enough for a 3 hour walk.

The party of 8 alumni included:

Sir Kevin Tebbit

A former British civil servant who was assistant private secretary to the Secretary of State for Defence. He served as the first secretary to the UK's delegation to NATO in Brussels between 1979-82.  He was also the Director of the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and the head of chancery at the British Embassy in Turkey. Retired between Cotswolds and London.
