On behalf of the association, Amy Bilton presented the Tanfield Glass to Jonathan Coates. The Tanfield Glass is presented annually, on October 16th (the anniversary of the school's opening in 1912) to the person who, in the opinion of the Tanfield Association's Executive Committee members, has done the most for the school or for the association. This year's worthy winner is Jonathan Coates, who has worked so incredibly hard towards improving the school, and whose support of the association has been unstinting. The Executive Committee voted unanimously to honour Jonathan for the work he has done and continues to do.

If you wish to have your face/name removed from any of our photos or have any problems accessing the site's features (eg photos not displaying, links not working), email me at: webguru@tanfield-association.org and tell me:

• Which operating system (e.g Windows 10) you are using
• Which browser and version you are using (e.g Chrome 61, Internet Explorer 11 etc.)

Choosing from the menu, you can read about Alderman Wood (the school's founder); view biographies of former headteachers; browse photos from the past 100+ years and much more.

A selection of old exam papers can be downloaded (you will have to mark your own answers!) in addition to memorabilia such as Speech Day programmes.

Some photos have been "Name-Tagged" and I would appreciate help in identifying unknown faces or correcting errors.

Also available to browse or download are School Magazines and Association Newsletters. As you will see, we do not have a complete collection so I would be pleased to arrange for missing documents to be scanned and published.

If you are interested in joining the association, contact:  membership@tanfield-association.org
