On last summer's trip to Milford Haven I was lucky to catch up with some old school friends. We called in to visit Mark Jones' mum & dad, and got Mark's phone number. Turned out he was arranging a party where Peter Morgan and Wendy Trew came along too:
The fuzzy spots on the photos are the Pembrokeshire mist he kindly arranged, to give me that authentic summertime feeling. It was great to see them again - I think I first met Mark and Peter aged about 7, when we all joined cub scouts at around the same time!
I also bumped into Sharon Jones in Tesco, and saw Robin Copley's dad while in Dale. He says that Robin is still in Pembrokeshire too.
We didn't see anyone else from school on this trip, but on our 2004 visit we were a bit more mobile and made it down to visit Huw Thomas at his home near Southampton. Here's a photo of Huw and his daughter Ellora from that trip:
Take a look at the 1979 photo of the Grammar School staff & pupils to see how we've changed.

I called in to see Ann Thomas in January, on the way down to Milford to see Mum. Ann had dug these out from the archives:

Mum, for whom the internet shall forever remain a mystery, mailed me a clipping from the Milford Mercury last week. The clipping was of Duncan's successful election to the Milford Town Council. Congratulations! Here's the online copy of the article.
