The trip to France with Coleg-Meirion-Dwyfor









Do you remember the trip to France when we visited Nantes and the "Futuroscope" near Poitiers? What a laugh that was! I have the pics to show for it, and I had a really great time. The futuroscope was a really amazing place, with loads of cool 3d stuff and weird rides.  I remember going on a boat ride with Jem Jenkins, and eating baguettes in the café.  There was one building which looked like a quartz cristal and another one with like a giant golf ball placed in its roof. 

If you have any comments about this trip and any funny photos, please post them , it will be fun to see how we´ve all changed!

The good old days at Coleg-Meirion-Dwyfor,Dolgellau

I attended Coleg-Meirion-Dwyfor in Dolgellau in 1993 to do my "A levels" , I studied A level English, French and Spanish and I had a laugh there too. I used to hang around with Sandy stevens, Jem jenkins-Jones, Angie Roberts, Debbie farrer and Gayle Onslow. I have very fond memories of Mr. Ben Riddler who taught us Spanish, and I loved it when he bought his guitar into the class to sing to us too.  I used to like it when the sun would occasionally come out and we could go and sit on the lawn outside, then when the students building was finally finished it was cool as we could play pool and table tennis while waiting for classes to begin. 

Anybody who attended Coleg-Meirion-Dwyfor in 1993, please feel free to comment or post pictures as it would be great to see where everyone is and what you´re up to in life.

Tower House´s Trip to France










Do you all remember the trip we had to France, when we went and stayed with our pen-pals? We went to Pont-Aven and Concarneau, we had such a laugh. I remember that my pen pal Francoise lived out in the sticks and I had to come to the school by bike.  It was cool though, we went to visit Pont-Aven where the painter "Paul Gaugin" set up his school and we spent some days in Concarneau where I remember that Chris Pugh was being an idiot!

If any of you have any pics from that trip , feel free to post them, and any comments about the trip are also welcome.

Do you remember Mr. Bentley´s classes?


Mr. Bentley was a good teacher at Tower House School, he taught Maths, and Chemistry, and wasn´t very strict. He wouldn´t shout a lot, and he explained very well the subjects.  I would just love it when we had Chemistry practical as we could wear our long white jackets and protective glasses.  We saw a good few blasts go off in the fume cupboard, but the most interesting was the imploding can experiment-how cool was that! We even got to keep the can as a souvenir! Thankyou Mr.Bentley for making a ´dull´subject-namely Chemistry actually interesting.  In the photo I have put a piccie of Mr.Bentley´s bottom! It was for a dare, so here you have it.  Rock on Mr. Bentley, you were the best!
