Stan 383 Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 So ,not all bad news fom Nottingham. Professor Sir Clive Granger, who died on May 27 aged 74, was a Nobel prize-winning economist whose work on analysing economic data was credited with improving the forecasting performance of the Treasury and the Bank of England At West Bridgford grammar school, he showed promise as a mathematician and foresaw a career in insurance or meteorology. At the University of Nottingham he was among the original intake for the first joint degree course in Economics and Mathematics. When he graduated with a First in 1955, Granger stayed on to become a lecturer in Statistics, gaining his PhD in 1959. Granger was knighted in 2005. In the same year, to mark his Nobel achievement, Nottingham University's Economics and Geography department premises were renamed the Sir Clive Granger Building.

siddha 733 Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 In the 1960s I knocked about with a nice guy called Roger Bates (Bash to his friends). Anyone know what happened to him? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beverley plume 0 Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Looking for former pupils of West Bridgford grammar school. I di used to have a lovely school photo taken around 1967 or 8 of the whole school however it was loaned to someone years ago and never returned sadly but I would live to locate one that I could possibly copy. I would also be happy to share memories of attending that school Quote Link to post Share on other sites
annswabey 559 Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 There's a group on Facebook called West Bridgford Grammar School 1968. Also on their page, is a photo from 1969. Too small to see, but the person who posted it offers to send a copy to anyone who wants it. However, his post WAS in 2010! He still seems to be on FB, though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 9,044 Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Welcome to Nottstalgia Alan Brindley. If you want to post any photos here, ignore the lo-res limitation feature - which is useless - and use one of the free image hosting sites. But bear in mind Beverley Plume has not been back here since July 2018 so she may not see your message. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
