John Mitchell has
recently published a new, pictorial history of the R.G.S. This shows the story of the R.G.S. in prints
and photographs from its foundation in the 16th century to the
present day, so complementing the history by Leslie Ashford and Kit Haworth
published in 1962. Most of the pictures have not been published before, and
many have been lent specially for the book by former pupils and staff.
John sold a good
number of copies at the OW Dinner, and the interest aroused was considerable. I
personally found the book absolutely fascinating, as did so many others, and I
would recommend it wholeheartedly. In the shops it is sold for £11.99. If you
are an old boy of the RGS, you can buy it for £8.50, or £10.00, including
postage to a UK address. You may at the same time wish to buy a copy of the
History of the School by Leslie Ashford and Kit Haworth for an additional
£2.00, or £3.00, including postage to a UK address.
To order, see below.
