SUMMER 2024 Newsletter

Welcome to this latest Newsletter and its range of Drama Club and Markhouse School items and of the future plans for the CMMF; also of the story behind this ‘interesting’ feature photograph. There is also the latest news on the now ‘well overdue’ story of all that happened in the few years before the school closed in 1966 – a future report for the website that has, unfortunately, been delayed by ‘circumstances beyond our control’ – as the saying goes!

Sadly, the content also includes the earlier news of the sudden and unexpected loss of Marjorie Kett who had been involved with the Drama Club during her teaching career at Mark House and, indeed, after its closure

Website Additions – Autumn 2023

These website additions include a newly found Report of our ‘forgotten’ entry in the 1965 ‘Youth Speaks’ Festival, several items about Mark House School, a prestigious ‘Borough wide’ McEntee Award for a MDC member, a new page for Marsh Street Youth Centre and the report on the CMMF Project at Kelmscott School, Walthamstow – from which this feature picture is taken. On a very sad note the additions also include a tribute to Bill Chapman.

Autumn 2023 Newsletter Extracts

Welcome to this latest, perhaps somewhat ‘overdue’ Newsletter and its range of Drama Club and Markhouse School items, along with details of a ‘goodly’ amount of newly found memorabilia now added to the Website.

The content inevitably leads in with the successful CMMF Performing Arts Project that took place at Kelmscott School in July and is followed by several new and interesting items about MDC members; although, sadly, these include our initial thoughts and memories following the recent loss of Bill Chapman – along with those of his wife Helen in reminding us that ‘he never lost his fond memories of his time and friendships at the Drama Club!
