Update Sunday 22nd January 2006
Some interesting things have happened this week. First of all, I am pleased that this web log has become a little more interactive with a couple of people, including a mystery individual, making comments on the web log entries. A few more people have been in touch, including a couple of staff. The "in the know" graduate list has now grown to 25.
Unfortunately we have also discovered that some of the contact details that we have for our former classmates are out of date, and it looks like it is going to prove difficult to track some people down. We have found a number of phone numbers are simply wrong, and a few e-mail invitations have bounced, or not elicited replies. I've also been engaged in an interesting e-mail conversation with a Kate Wills who is not our Kate Wills. It was very kind of this person to let me know that I had mistakenly invited her to an event with which she had no connection. I was almost tempted to invite her along anyway!
Here is another plea for you to let me know if you are aware of the whereabouts of anyone on the second list across the page. If you are one of the people listed in the second list, please drop me a quick e-mail so that I know that you are in the know re 15th July 2006 (even if you can't make it on the day). We still have almost 5 months to find everyone. Let's see if we can do it!
Finally, yesterday I had an interesting e-mail from a 1986 English graduate who has approached us to ask about our event, and ask advice about running something similar for his cohort. I have replied with the suggestion that English 1986 might like to run something in parallel (but not jointly) on the same day as us, and I await a phone call from the person who contacted me to see if he would like to discuss this further.
