My brother (Trevor Dilley) is staying with me in Bristol for a few days and we are reminiscing over our William Torbitt schooldays. We would like to send our regards to any classmates who may remember us from the 50's.

Apologies to anyone who tried to add messages over the past few days. I had to rebuild the entire server (over 30 websites and corresponding email addresses) due to a hacker.

Further to the conversation I had with Geoff Hill at the School Reunion 2007, I hope the school gets around to fully restoring the the Tom Cowan (1970) memorial gates entrance to the school garden. Geoff H. - my restoration offer remains open if you wish.

I would like to give a big thank you to all of my teachers at William Torbitt: Mrs Mullinger, Ms Moseley, Mrs Blaize, Ms England, Mr Harris, Mrs Dignon, Mr Bell and Mrs Kay. Every staff personnel helped in my steps to secondary school.
