- for former pupils of the Boys School (Old Askeans) and the Girls School (Hatcham Association).

Yahoo Group members are having an extensive review of the "Musical" attributes of their terms of service!

We seem to be without a current website to attract the attention of former pupils of either of the two Schools. (original opening notice on the single page site)!

For that reason this Site was opened 8th July 1998.
Now reached 11 years of providing information!

This is an "un-official" site designed to link up those who have passed through the Askes Schools at New Cross,
including those who were evacuated to Oxted and /or Teignmouth.

To join this site you do not need to belong to any of the Associations or subscribe to their views.
All that is needed is the fact you went to the Schools and can offer your years of attendance and an e-mail address so that we can add you to my mailing list.
or you can add yourself to Peter's list.

at Pepys Road,New Cross.London S.E.14.United Kingdom.

Together with any from the Girls School at Jerningham Road

odd that we still have had no contact from them!
(apparently formed in 2005)

Message from Dennis

Meantime, I do not know how many O.A.'s read the postings on this forum, nor how many of those that do are actually members of the OAA.
SO... if you are interested in further information re.

our membership secretary would be very pleased to hear from you. Do not fear if you live abroad, - copies of the Magazine are sent to members in many countries.

His e-mail for this purpose is: Barrett, David
E-mail Address:
davidcbarrett@btinternet.com

You will get an e-mail asking if you wish to subscribe-----click "reply" and then "send" ----and await the confirmation e-mail from Peter.

You also have the option of registering with Yahoogroups with your own log-in and password,this will enable you to interrogate other groups,which may be of interest!

For the benefit of those viewing the site,I have put in a page Askeans which has the years of schooling of those on my mailing list.It also has a sub-set of pages with more information on School activities
and the fate of its pupils.

It is possible that some of the readers are actually from our cousins north of the Thames.For reference their old boys are called the "Old Haberdashers Association"
That School has excellent sites at:

http://www.habsgirls.org.uk

Past pupils refer on their C.V's to their schooling at" Haberdashers Askes",without indicating that they were educated North of the River,which has caused some confusion in the various search engines!

my e-mail address for news and amendments :
( previous mailbox closed by spam! more than 1,000 per month)

Which shows that some of the front page is read even if all these viewers
apparently take no further action!

Revise A A A link 03.02.2009 they want your Email address and presumably a "sub"!

Amend cover page 4th March 2009. The site is compiled using Microsoft Front Page 2000

No one is paid for the work on maintaining the site! The owner is now 77 and at some time

the site will disappear. It might go even sooner if we have any more unfriendly comments.

" Hopefully, wherever he goes, they'll teach him to spell "alumni" properly."!

My elder brother Alan has just departed this world and now knows if there is anything out there!
