Bath Chronicle

Fifty years ago, were you an apprentice?

-

I am trying to locate people who participat­ed in an apprentice­ship, many years ago.

This was at the Technician

Apprentice Training Centre, Royal Naval Supply Depot, Copenacre, Corsham, Wiltshire.

The start of the apprentice­ship was September 1973 for this year group, which makes 2023 the 50th anniversar­y, and I am organising a 50th anniversar­y reunion. So far I have a 100% take-up of such an event for those that I have managed to reach!

I have found a significan­t number of people but I can’t locate a some.

I know that several have moved abroad (Germany, USA, Australia, Spain) but I am certain some I haven’t reached are in the South or South West (i.e. Wiltshire, Somerset, Avon, Gloucester­shire).

I know some of the apprentice­s originated from, or are known to have lived in: Frome, Melksham, Malmesbury, Weston-super-mare, Bath and Swindon. I have so far

located people in Wiltshire, Hampshire, Bath and North East Somerset, Somerset and Spain.

I can be contacted on tony@thedolphin­s.net or 07785 395 496. Tony Holmes by email
