Hi All,
I have decided to call it a day. From apprentice to climbing poles to nightshifts, account management, service management, Wholesale, Global, Retail….after 40 long years I have nowhere left to go! Having seen so many changes over the years it is now time to hand the baton over to you young ones (keep working hard I still have some BT shares!!).
I’m now going to spend some time travelling, voluntary work in Manchester Art Gallery (I know all about the Pre Raphaelites!) and pursuing my musical career (there is a feature on me in next month’s edition of “Acoustic” magazine www.acousticmagazine.com).
My last day of service is 30th September 2011 and I can now confirm that the “do” will be in:
Manchester on Thursday 20th October at The Moon Under Water on Deansgate from 5pm onwards.
The Moon Under Water is near Victoria Station, for details please see link below,
www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/pubs/the-moon-under-water-manchester
My old mate Howard Whitby is also leaving this week and he will be joining us on the 20th so if you could all spread the word please that would be great. There will sure to be a lot of old faces including a few guys who are already retired so should be a really good night…..looking forward to seeing you!!!
I have worked with everyone of you at some point in my career and it will be you folks that I will really miss.
Best of luck to you all!
Please feel free to pass this on to your colleagues.
Cheers, Ged Wilson |

 | | Dave 'captain' Bleakey and Bill Wade |
| | Dave Bleakey is leaving our world class company at last.
He spent many years in Dial House amongst other places. He was so popular with management, he was shipped about from pillar to post countless times.
For those who encountered him over his time in BT, you will no doubt agree he always left a lasting impression.
Anyway, Sawyer Arms, Deansgate Friday,7th October from lunchtime onwards is the place to be.
Same day, same time and just up the road in the Moon Under Water will be another much travelled BT Stalwart....BILL WADE. Bill was so dedicated to the company, he made the ultimate sacrifice of taking any job offered as long as it was a ROTA post, including working as many Sundays and Bank Holiday as possible. What a man !
Please take the opportunity of supporting these two gentlemen on their big day and at least join them in the partaking of a free drink.
I'm told that both events will be well attended with the usual array of BT/Ex BT personnel including Engineers, Management, Splitters etc. |

| | Farewell Bill Wilson |
| | Hi All
Unfortunately, as some of you already know, Bill passed away in the early hours of Tuesday, 29 March. He suffered a massive heart attack of such severity that nobody was able to do anything to save him.
There will be a 'celebration of Bill's life' at Macclesfield Crematorium on Tuesday 12 April 2011 at 2:40pm and afterwards at Henbury and Broken Cross Institute, Fallibroome Road.
Family flowers only please and any donations to The British Heart Foundation.
I have been asked by Bill's family to provide a rough idea of the numbers attending the 'celebration' afterward, therefore if you intend going along please let me know by return. I have also been asked if any of you have any work/life stories, of Bill, that can be shared with friends and family at the crematorium. . If you have any that you would like to share please send them either to myself or direct to Bill's family at the address below.
Mrs Chris Wilson and Family
108 Kenilworth Road
Macclesfield
SK11 8UY
Please pass this message to anybody you feel would want to join in and 'celebrate' Bill's life.
Rest in peace Bill.
Kindest regards,
Jeff Horsfall |
