I include this I.D. card because there is some argument as to what the course was called. Jeanette Sutton, who became my sister inlaw, insists it was called Applied Behavioural Studies, not Science, which sounds more weighty. Her husband, Andrew Sutton, did the course the following year, by which time it had changed its name. Clearly SCI stands for science, so there, Jeanette.

It was a strange and intense course, every Tuesday evening, plus two weekends a term, or alternatively one could do a full residential week. A lot of people, including myself, opted to do both.

It was an amalgam of group dynamics, encounter group, transactional analysis, co-counselling, massage and any other bare-foot psychology paperback that was out at the time. It was run, or rather 'facilitated' by two women and a man, Gary, Troy and Tritia.

Gary was in a punk band called 'Poison Girls', and a lot of us became a 'rent a crowd' turning up at the gigs and cheering.
