Still at it, the Fifty-Fivers met this time in the summer to reminisce (again) over
the old times, tell stories of their misspent youth, discuss cars they used to
own, moan about how things have changed for the worse, drink very moderate
amounts of alcohol and… have a thoroughly enjoyable evening together. The Good
Intent at Puttenham was the destination where the
regulars were very puzzled to see a group of people they thought must be aging

No, not just another bunch of OAPs
meeting for a pint, they are the 1955 intake of FGS all now in the course of
achieving pensionable age. Nine old boys, representing 15% of the year group,
made this annual get-together which has lasted for several years, as displayed
below. No longer The Harrow Group, as the venue has changed, they meet with
genuine pleasure to recall and recount, to celebrate and regret all manner of
shared and individual experiences. Long may this thoroughly healthy and
worthwhile annual ritual continue!

Same crowd (more or less), same
location, beer tasted the same, the bellies are all a bit bigger and the
stories of the old days are as fresh as ever in our minds – this is the stuff of
life, not at all boring! The 1955 intake kept the flame burning for another
year!
