Simon Meeds (BGS 1976-84)

I came to BGS from Woad Farm Junior School (now St Nicholas).

My extra-curricular activities were:

• Photographic Society
• Astronomical Society
• Philatelic Society
• General Knowledge competitions

After BGS I studied Computer Science at Portsmouth Polytechnic (1984-88) - now the University of Portsmouth.

My career so far has been mainly in Mobile Telecommunications.

I am a member of the Old Bostonian Association, having been elected a Vice President. I was web master for the Association from 1999 to 2017 and was editor of its magazine, The Old Bostonian, from 2000 to 2011. I returned to the editorship in 2013 following the death of Paul Mould and (perhaps) edited my final magazine in 2016.

I hope you enjoy this Wiki and the Association's web site.
