Paul the Gog here, Ruskin 1989 - 91. Along with Ian, updating this blog as and when new info comes to hand.
Burford & Levellers' Day: great to see the banners of the broader movement being carried not in a protest or dispute, but in a proud celebration of everything which that movement represents. Colour, music, pride & progressive politics. And, of course, remembering those who went before. What an ideal venue & occasion for a reunion.
When we were at Ruskin, the I.T. facilities consisted of one (paraffin-powered?) computer under the supervision of tutor Andy Burchardt. It used to take about half a term to boot up, as I recall, & few were those who understood its arcane mysteries.
Things have moved on now, of course, and we have the wonders of the worldwide interweb of nets; there's no excuse for not keeping in touch with old comrades, even if you're allergic to picking up a pen (are you listening, Badger McCauley?).
Folks can post contact info on here or, if preferred, how about just getting in touch directly with Ian's address, or mine: bhajibeast@gmail.com ? Let us know whether or not we can share your e-mail address with other Ruskineers. If not, no problem - we'll just use it to keep you updated.
Calling all Ruskineers who attended the glorious institution during 1989-1991. An organising committee has been convened and we are aiming to use Levellers' Day in May 2012 as the focus for our reunion. All organisational details for the reunion can be found here as well as contact details for the organisers.
