During the organisation of our
first '69 reunion in November 1999, Stavors suggested a year book
- "I said It'll be out of date in a year, what about a web
site."
[Some day I'll learn to keep my
mouth shut!]
However one wet Sunday in an island off the north of Scotland,
the St Augustine's website was born.
Initially conceived to be a
contact list for staff and '69 entry, the scheme mushroomed.
All material relating to St
Augustine's is welcome.
Thanks to all those who have helped create this site
Mark Brennan (AKA Chief
Archivist)
- access to his incredible and invaluable
collection of things Augustinian: numerous photos (incl uniform
photos); letters from the headmaster; various programs;"For
All the Saints. . ." concept (In Memoriam page) and valuable
editorial input
Paul Fay (my brother)
- Numerous photos, programs, miscellaneous
stationary, letters from the headmaster, locating TV Top of the
Form Quiz Books etc etc
Andrew Stavordale (AKA Database
Manager)
- the prime mover! without him, this site would
never have been conceived
- responsible for initial and updated contact details of many
boys of 69 and staff
