Best thing that ever happened to you at Trinity: I remember being in a school drama production of Under Milk Wood & being involved in a school production of Grease. Also I played in the school rugby XV on the wing, in the same team as John Orr, Simon Brown & Stephen Brown. I also enjoyed the athletic meetings I took part in at the Sheepmount running track. I remember going on my first Rugby Tour with Trinity School to East Grinstead. We were put up by the parents of the team we were playing. If anyone has any memories or photos of this tour I would appreciate receiving some pics. Rugby has been a very big part of my life since I started playing at school and I have reminders of nearly all the tours I've been on apart from the school one.

If you could have your time at Trinity again, you would... : Like anyone else I would definitely pay more attention in class and would love to take my O Levels.

So, I was one of Mr Eaton's daughters! My name now is Judith Porzel and  I left Trinity in 1982 having done my O-Levels in 1980 (I was in 5R, I think). Classmates (of whom it would interest me what they are doing now) are Jean Eaglesham, Judith Coates (last heard of also in Germany), Susan Donaghue, Alison Doggart, Alison Foster, Carolyn Fell, Jeanette Davis, etc etc (I could probably still list almost the complete class).

I can't say I really had any favourite teachers - though I suppose we had great fun with Peter Bowyer - as being "Mr Eaton's daughter" I had a rather strange status in the school which you could count as being the "worst thing about the school". After Trinity I did a B.A. in French and German at Sheffield University and have lived in Germany more or less ever since. I now work for a lighting manufacturing company in the south of Germany (near Bamberg) and sold the wall lighting fittings to the new cinema which opened in Botchergate in 2000!! I got married (to a German) in 1988 and now have two children.

My brother, Andrew Eaton (who left sometime in the 1990s but I couldn't say when) is now living in Glasgow. He is a journalist and works for the Scotsman. My sister, Catherine (now Duda), who did her O-Levels in about 1977, is now training to be a nurse and lives in Helensburgh. Both are married. Catherine has two daughters. (Her husband is ex-Newman). And that's about it... if anyone wants to get in touch, I'd be pleased to hear from them.

P.S. I found out about this site from Michelle Cini (of Bristol University) who was also in my year at school.

Here's Karen after returning from what Shaun Ferguson describes as "her Outward Bound Raleigh something or other" ! Karen, would you like to send me some info about yourself ?

Fiona's old mates can e-mail her at . Her 5th year form was 5IE (Mrs Evans). She remembers Maggi Phillips, Laura Routledge and Helen Jones and says friendship was the best thing about Trinity. Her favourite teachers were Madam Vallely, Mr Evans, Mrs Teasdale, Mr Hick and Mr Tiplady.

Her fondest memories are of St John's in the Vale and Coniston. Fiona still lives in Carlisle, combining the roles of mother & housewife (the family being Karl and her two daughters Natalie & Robyn). She's having a reunion in September 2000 and would love to get in touch with anyone else from her year. Given her time again, she'd work harder (me too).
