Our Friends Evening this week featured a talk by Alan Martin explaining how he came to write his book about his time at BorehamwoodGrammar School. By weaving his story from the late 1950s through the way the Grammar School treated him and his fellow pupils during the 60s. Giving the pupils a sound and solid education, and teasing out their individual attributes whether it be an aptitude for sports, arts or sciences. Even the insistence on rugby when the boys were really football fans and players, showed that the ethos of the school was towards excellence in all aspects regardless of background. Talking about his teachers and fellow pupils, and featuring memories of good and bad times, it was an enjoyable talk for everyone. Plenty of memories of past times, whichever school you went to in Borehamwood. His book is on sale in the Museum and on our website HERE.
