Rosemary Webb Rehill - That is so so interesting! I remember John very well. He was made head boy and turned it down.

Chris Applebey (Mr Pip Pip) - John is currently on tour in Japan but lives in the west of Ireland. After leaving Cleobury he moved from RAF Scampton to somewhere in the home counties and then Australia where he went to Uni. He has worked in Steiner schools and has a worldwide following of his work. A very popular boy who was always going to do well.

Peter Ingram Tedd - I remember John, same year as me and Pip. We were good friends. After we left CCBS we met up again in the summer of '68 when I went to stay with him for a few days in his parents' house at RAF West Malling in Kent. This was not long after the Beatles had made part of their film there, "Magical Mystery Tour".
