This site was founded by David-Michael Dunbar (Canada) in the spring of 2006. David-Michael, contacted Simon Walters, Peter Mellor, Stewart Fincham, Stephen Wassell, Graham Nunn, David Ackroyd and Rod.Dc. Pittam. Who were most helpful and thoughtful, they went out of their way to supply the Photos, Anecdotes and History. The success of building this site is due to them!
Shortly after that the Old Westbrookians' Society was founded by David Lyne-Gordon (UK) and David-Michael Dunbar, in the spring of 2006.

The Old Westbrookians' Society was founded -

* to celebrate the life and achievements of Kenneth Noel Goring Foster (1903 - 1984) and his school - Westbrook House School (1947 - 1968)
* to unite former pupils of his school
* to promote the current incarnation of the school under Niall Washington-Jones.

Hi David-Michael, Many thanks for the Sports Day stills............they bring back memories of those occasions, particularly the old table used for prize-giving, for some reason! Hated that sack race. Couldn't recognize anybody, other than KNGF of course. Regards,

Peter Flashman
