It's good to see the names Colin Milne and Dave Clifton, both were my classmates at Roan. Especially comforting at this time when we are remembering the life of our fellow classmate, Tony Slaney.

I remember you both very well.
I'm now retired, like most of us from '65 and living in France.

Just heard the news about our ex president and longtime secretary: Absolutely devastated as he was a lot younger than many but put more into the Old Roan Club than most. So sad.

My favourite Alf Knott story:

A bunch of us had removed a fellow pupil's trousers in punishment for some long-forgotten misdemeanour.

He was walking through the hall when Alfie saw him. Ignoring the fact that this pupil had no trousers on, he shouted "you boy, take those trainers off and get some proper shoes on". Classic.

I also remember him paying boogie woogie piano while we had lunch on occasions.

Disappointed that the Old Roan website no longer carries news of Old Roan Lambethans' cricket and Old boys' football. Has it stopped or is no-one able to update the web pages?

I was at the boy's from 62 to 70 and have long since lost touch with just about everyone. I am still in, very infrequent, contact with Bob Coomber and recently discovered Clive "Fred" Fuhr in New Zealand and Ali Rhodes in Australia.
If any of the class of 62 are out there then drop me a line

Cheers

I was only at the school from 1964 to 1967 when I left with my family to live in South Africa. 46 years on! Just happened to be talking about school house names and hence........ I was in Rodney house. I remember a few names, don't suppose I would recognise the faces!

Have just discovered this site and am responding to Roger Nightingale. Do you remember the Henning family, Roger? We lived 3 or 4 doors up from you and all four Henning children went to the Roan. Claus and Hini and Dörthe and me, Ulrike - we were there in the 50s. We had emigrated from Germany in 1948, so were quite an oddity in Eltham. Dörthe and Hini wanted to be as English as possible, so were known as Dorothy and Fritz - Claus and I had more confidence and stuck with our German names.

The John Roan School featured on BBC London (94.9) Robert Elm's radio show on Monday 29th April (12pm-3pm) with a slot 'Your old School' inviting Old Roan Boys and Girls to call in. It'll invoke some memories for all at Maize Hill and Devonshire Drive. Callers ranged from the 1940's to a last year leaver, the Association gets a mention as do the wonderful playing fields and Alfie Knott of course among others. You still have 5 days from today to 'play back' and can scroll to about 2:00pm to listen again. Enjoy.
