Kaptagat Prep School The Unofficial Web Site |
Welcome to the site. Bit boring, but then I'm not really a Web fundi.
What's new? -
Updated April 2008 - More names in Alumni. A couple of new reminiscences. I visited the school in Dec 2007 (just days before the election riots) and have added some pictures and notes from the trip under "Kaptagat today".
If you have contacted us but your name still isn't in the alumni list, can you e-mail us again. We know we have lost a few contacts through compter crashes or carelessness - apologies
Disclaimer: Information on these pages is unchecked and unofficial, being compiled in the main from people's memories. I know of no other Web site dedicated to the school, but if one exists, please let me know. Corrections, additions etc. to any of the pages are welcome, emailto: AndyRxxx at blueyonder dot co dot uk
Note I have spelled out @ and . in all e-mail addresses on the site. This is an attempt to foil web crawlers that look for e-mail addressees to send junk mail to.
Pippa McGimpsey (nee Williams) started this all off and she maintains the contact list (see Alumni). Her address is pipnz at xtra dot co dot nz
Alisdair Tait has registered the domain name --- kaptagat.com, and also arranged to hold the web pages on a more normal host. Asante saana.
Link to Funga Safari which has (a) lots of Kaptagat people mentioned and (b) useful links to other Kenya schools. However, the site hasn't been updated since 2000
There are at least two sites run by dot.com's (I know of "gradfinder" - recently taken over by "friendfinder" and "yahoo(groups)" ) who have grabbed every school name in the world and set up potential contact groups for each school. They ask you to join or subscribe to post your name and messages. Alphonse Aogulla is managing the yahoo groups site - quite a few photos, memories and chat. There is also "Friends Re-united".A number of people have said that their e-mail addresses can appear on the alumni list. This saves me work if people want to contact you - they can do so directly and not via me. But warning! The web site now comes up on web searchers (probably because of the registered name), and the world can now read your e-mail address. This may result in spam. I hope omitting @ and . makes that less likely.
