It's been some since we had any pictures from the 1960's. Nic Pulford (Physics / Maths 1966-69) contacted the webmaster Dec 2017 with some great pictures from the College Rag week in Nic's first year, plus some pictures of football and rugby teams. I've put the pictures onto their own page, here (or click on Rag Week 1966-67 on the left).

Philip Francomb has sent to us (May 2011) a marvellous collection of pictures from about 1962.  As this page is getting busy I’ve put them on a page of their own. Philip also sent to us his year photos from 1962, 1963 and 1964, which are on the Year Photos page. And if you’re wondering is that the Philip in the pictures, below, from Elizabeth Young (nee Saunders), yes, it is!

Dave McVay contacted the webmaster at the start of 2006 having just found some picture of himself and friends taken on the roof outside 2nd West, Queen Mary Hall, in 1969/70.

Amongst the people are 2 union presidents and at least 3 members of the Exec - all in waiting, of course. And, best of all, Dave can remember just about all the names.

We are grateful to Elizabeth Young (nee Saunders, 1961-63) and Andrew Dixon (1964-68) for their pictures, below :

At the 2004 Reunion Elizabeth Young (nee Saunders) kindly gave me her pictures from her days at QEC in the early 1960’s. To start us off here are some pictures from the Commemoration Ball of 1962, and of a game of netball - do you remember the netball / tennis court?

Below are pictures from Liz of field trips to the Basingstoke Canal. Thanks to Liz’s diligent recording, we have names of most of the people taking part.

Andrew Dixon (1964 - 1968) e-mailed me some great pictures from the mid-1960’s.

I’ve sorted the images into :

• Christmas Ball 1964 and Commemorative Ball 1965
• Field Courses
• Pancake Race 1965
• and Miscellaneous

Andrew is unsure of a lot of names, but I’m sure those of you who were at the College in the 1960’s can help.
