Hi Cov,

I've been admiring the view all day. I can't wait to visit next year. I'm fleeing Australia while the Olympics are on and I have now found a place that looks so much more inviting than the hussle and bustle of Sydney. I'll be watching.

[29 SEP 99] STOKE SCHOOLS

My name is David Owen and I attended the Stoke infant, junior and secondary schools in Briton Road during the 50's and 60's (c 1955-66). I was born in 1950 and I would like to find some people who I knew from my school years.

I remember some people who I would like to talk with. These are some of the people I still remember:

• Jackie Pegg?
• Barbara Gray?
• Mason???
• Wade???

I believe Jackie Pegg lived in Clay Lane at the Stoke Ex-Servicemens Club. I also think Barbara Gray lived around the Brays Lane area. Not too sure. Mason and Wade were two lads but I cannot think of they first names or where they lived.

Anyone who was in the class with Colin Jordon as a teacher could help me, this was a 'b' class.

Hope to hear from some people. Thank you.

[28 SEP 99] EXIT 19 - ALLAN O'FLYNN

Can anyone help me find Allan O'Flynn, aka 'Chen'. He was the singer in my band 'Exit 19' (1984 - 85) and I'd love to contact him again. We plan on recording another song (just for old times sake) and it has to be Chen on vocals!

I last heard of him living in Willenhall about 10 years ago and hope someone will know him by his nickname. He had a good friend called Eddie and the last girlfriend he had I remember was called Kerry.

If you can help please contact me.

Hello,

I've been seaching the web for a contact for the Warwickshire Athletics Association, but with no luck. I have found your website though.

I was born in Warwickshire (Marston Green) and would like to find out about the county championships in Xcountry and track/road etc.

Thanks,

[19 SEP 99] FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCH

I need help in tracing any descendants of my great aunt, Ethel Marjorie LEACH.

Ethel moved from Rotherham to Coventry with her parents about 1901/02. She married Frederick JOHNSTON at St Marks parish church on 9 November 1912. I believe they had three children. She remarried (date as yet unknown to me) and became Ethel Marjorie RATCLIFFE. I don't know if there were any children from this second marriage or the circumstances concerning the ending of the first marriage. Ethel died about 1961 (I think).

Any information would be most welcome.

Hi everybody, my name is Michael Bennett, I now live in Sydney, Australia and have done for many years.

I am trying to make contact with old school friends from either Allesley Park Junior School or Woodway Park Primary School.

I lived in Allesley Park and went to Allesley Park Junior from approx 1967 to 1970 and Woodway Park Primary from approx 1970 to 1974. The names of students I remember are Geoffrey Jenkinson, Steve Alsopp, Jimmy Lantsbury, Gary Tyrell, Kevin Hellier, Mark Tysall, Fiona Durham, Kathleen Calvert, Garry Parsons, Raymond Blakey, Tim Bates, Gordon Trecey, Alastair Milne and Shakti Varma.

All of these ex students would be in their late thirties or early forties. I hope to return to Coventry on holiday next year and would like to catch up with some old school friends if possible.

My nickname while at school was Benny. Thank You.
