IMPORTANT UPDATE - 70th Anniversary Lunch

Due to unforeseen circumstances we have had to find an alternative venue for this event.

Our venue selection subcommittee worked around the clock throughout the half-term holidays and it is confirmed the lunch will now be held at Northwood Golf Club, Rickmansworth Rd, Northwood, HA6 2QW. The subcommittee informs me the new venue is superb and a vast improvement on last year.

The date remains the same, our lunch is booked for Thursday, 13th March, 2025.

The finance subcommittee is now accepting payments. All the details can be found in the latest Newsletter (Issue 6). Please also keep an eye on this page --> 70th Anniversary Lunch for any further details, and to fill out the form letting others know if you are planning to attend.

Sad to report the passing of Mr. John Ryan. He was well-liked and taught physics between September 1970 and July 1973 when he left for Vyners, returning to Haydon some years later as Head of Science. At some point in his career he taught at Latymer Upper. He retired from Haydon in 1997. John was also an accomplished violinist and in later years he was often to be seen in the Northwood area.
