I recently met up with Paul Cook for a catch up after far too long and we realised it’s nearly 35 years since we first went to Leicester and ended up sharing a corridor on the first floor in B Block. After a couple of beers and many laughs we started reminiscing about everyone we had met at Clare Hall and how it was one of the most memorable times in our lives. We discovered that both of us were i
n touch with a few people from the old place but there were many more good friends we’d sadly lost touch with over the years. Since our time though we’ve moved on from sharing a telephone on the landing and writing letters to all the new social media outlets so we knew this was a situation we could now easily resolve. So for the first time we now have a dedicated page which is for anyone who lived at Clare Hall at any time to get in touch. We’re starting by inviting all the ex-Clare inmates we know to ‘like’ our page and if they then invite everyone they know, we’ll hopefully in time get enough ‘likes’ to fill the JCR (it does still exist – just!)
Please post your thoughts, memories, funny stories, memorable moments, anything really as long as it’s faintly Leicester related. I’m sure this will generate some fantastic conversations and if you have some old photos gathering dust in the attic, please do share them too as these could be very entertaining. In turn I’ll post the occasional update to try and take you back in time. Don’t forget to let us know when you were at Clare and it would be great to hear what you’re up to now. You never know if there’s sufficient demand, we might even dust off the Odyssey Disco for a reunion party! Right I’m off to see the Bursar about last night’s dinner…
