Paul,

I actually joined in 1977, with the newly established MRT (TEC) course which ran alongside the MRGC.  I left in 1979 after the TEC Cert, and did not stay the additional year for the Radar course as I went directly to Polytechnic.  So, if you are basing it on year of leaving for the group then yes I would officially be in the 1980 year.  

I remember when the Worcester was scrapped and a small group of us made a video of the event.  I dont know what happened to it eventually but Derek Kay who ran the Av Dept would have probably archived it??

I found the details of the web thru Friends reunited web site when I registered.

regards

John,

Thanks for writing in.  I am in the process of adding your details to the
website although some questions are raised.

1977-79 would put you in the 1979 MRGC group on the Radio page however the
names you give are of the 1980 group so I've put you in there.

I am interested to hear that videos were made of the Worcester and the
college but I do not have any archived but am interested to obtain anything
on film.  I know that a film was made of the college (for marketing
purposes) not long before it closed.  If you know where any film of the
college may be obtained I would be interested in pursuing that.

One last question, how did you find out about the site, i.e. what or who
prompted you to make contact?

Best Wishes
