The Old Bordenian Association

Another wide school photo, this time of 1960.  The photo has been split into five parts.

Today’s Technology 30 Years Ago…

Do you remember the visit of the young lady with the electric car?  I think she was from Seeboard, the local electricity company that wanted to show off the car of the future.

Well, the technology is available now albeit in a more sophisticated form with better styling and certainly a better range.  The performance was good though, particularly the acceleration, as I nearly managed to mow down some of the sixth form on the front drive.  It had the same characteristics in reverse too!

Looking at the members of the sixth form, I reckon this picture was taken in 1977.  At first sight, I reckon I can name at least 12 of the survivors not counting Bryan and myself.

What do you remember of this event and how many names can you provide?

One from not that long ago – November last year in fact!

The two Old Bordenian teams involved in the Sittingbourne Five-a-Side league have enjoyed a hiatus in the fixture programme following a succession of cancellations due to administrative problems suffered by the league. Thankfully those problems have been resolved and we are back into league action.

In Division 1 the Old Bordenians are progressing reasonably well. They have played two games less than the most of the rest of the division and are currently 4th out of 6th in a very finely balanced league. If points can be won from the two games missed (due to a wet floor – in an indoor venue!) it could move them into the top two. The division 1 fixtures resume on 29th November. Alex Bolden continues to organise the team.
