News | Stripes in Magenta | ||||
www.staugs.org has moved to www.staugs.org This is a move which allowed further reliabilty and expansion but it meant leaving the previous free web space. It is hoped that the cost of the webspace can be met from Reunion takings. If any of you wish to see personal contact details + photos, please send details to me either webmaster@staugs.org or via snail mail using the address at the end of this rag. Still plenty of room for expansion - All "Augustinia" welcome. The 2nd Grand Reunion will take place on 22 November 2003 at the Greater Manchester Police Sports and Social Club, Hough End. Tickets from Martin Harding martinharding@hotmail.com @ £17.50 Format will essentially be as 2001 with
Buffet Meal and bar. Cheques should be made payable to St
Augustines GS to Martin Harding at 19 Keats Avenue,
Norden, Rochdale OL12 7PZ. All help appreciated both in spreading the word and also on the day Please let the webmaster
of any forthcoming year reunions |

. Who recognises any of these young 1970 football hopefuls...?
Sir, hes Bambered my tie There
was a quote Ill never forget by Paul Fletcher in
the late 70s that always makes me smile. There
was also a great quote that proved there were some
psychotic teachers at St Augustines. Contributed by Andrew Murphy Spoken English: "Oh Horace isn't it horrid when you're hot and in
a hurry and you have to hold your hat on with your
hand" "In Herefordshire, Hertfordshire and Huntingdonshire, hurricanes hardly ever happen" Contributed by Barny Booth |
Miscellaneous | Stripes in Magenta |
Emily Bishop . . . It St Augurs badly for this on-line
community that the website has recently seen less action
than Emily Bishops crotch. Having used a little bit of smut as a
hook you cant underestimate your readers
especially if they are Sharston Mount (increasingly) Old
Boys let us ask the serious question why is
no-one posting there anymore? How many of you in past
months have asked to be removed from the sites
automatic emailing list? I am writing this on the evening of April
17th. No new messages have been posted in 5 days. Very
few have been posted all month and those few that have
had been from about five people. Let us end where we started. Yes its back to Emilys unloved and unvisited fanny. We all know how much in favour Spike was of Bishoprics. Why not be one? TM Essential Latin - Some Useful Words

Letters to Editor | Stripes in Magenta |
Letters should be addressed
to the editor Thanks for your early expressions of interest.
Even at this stage it looks like there will be a good
attendance. Could I ask you to show just a little
patience as I am finishing off a dissertation (yes I am
stupid) and I am running round like the proverbial blue
bottomed fly. Regards. Martin Harding Currently in UK, unfortunately for my father's
funeral A great issue. Please keep it
going. >From the Headmaster was outstanding. Now working at Loreto College Manchester in the
College Information Systems office. Am busy revising for my OU exam on
May 2nd - the sixth of seven modules towards a diploma in
Computing for Commerce and Industry and from there, if I
can cope, to an MSc in the same. I'm
still working for International Paper, based in
Handforth, Cheshire and have been married (2nd time
around) for 1 and half years now. Life is excellent
all round and I hope to be able to get to the next
reunion whenever that is.
