Re: Paul Koronka RIP
I was extremely sad to read in the Autumn 2022 edition of the "Old Blue" that Paul Koronka (Pe A 1966-71) had died earlier this year. Paul was a contemporary and great friend of my late brother, Greg Strange (Mid A 1964-71). Their friendship continued in the early 1970s after they left CH...

Geoff Fordham RIP
I am very sorry to have read of the death of Geoff Fordham in the latest CHOBA newsletter. Geoff was a very humane monitor, alongside his good friend John Lloyd, during my first year at CH in Maine A. He was also an occasional poster in the early days of this forum. John Hopgood, a more prolific pos...

Re: Ian Page
Does anyone remember Ian Page, a housemaster in the 1960s but also a goalkeeper for Horsham who played in arguably Horsham's most famous game, a First Round FA Cup home tie against Swindon Town? http://www.horsham-fc.co.uk/2016/11/26/remembering-swindon-fifty-years-on-2/?_ga=2.204599440.1095745437....

Happy Birthday JR
Many happy returns John. Hope you and yours are keeping well. It seems a long time since you last posted given that you were formerly a prolific poster. All the best Andy.

Re: J D F Smith
A year or two after I left CH (ca. 1974 or 5) I was shocked to hear that John Smith, whom I had greatly admired as a teacher of Greek and Ancient History, had suddenly died. Does anyone know more about the circumstances of his death (if this is not a taboo subject) and about his personal history in...

Re: Applying to Christ's Hospital Sixth Form
I have sent in my application and I am attending the open day tomorrow. Just wondering, does anyone know the admissions process. And, with grade predictions of 9 A*s, 1 A and 1 B, do I even stand a chance of getting in? Hello Carmelo, welcome to the Forum. Most of us on here are ancient Old Blues (...

Re: Brexit
Brexit is not the cause of the lorry driver shortage but provides a convenient excuse for a remaincentric incompetent Establishment and a media that loves to fan the flames of discontent in any way possible. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6260516.stm.

Re: Roger Allam in Radio Times
Thanks for the links. I wonder which teacher he was referring to? The convicted abusers teaching during Roger Allam's time were: Peter Burr, Peter Webb and Roger Martin. Roger Martin was the most generally popular of those three so, if I was a gambling man, I would surmise Martin is the teacher ref...

Re: In 1966 I was:
In the Maine A Quiet Room watching the match on TV with a few others. Not sure why I was at CH on 30 July but I was!
Momentous day for a football obsessed little boy of 12 at the time and I hope tonight will prove similar for and old git of nearly 67.

Re: Obituary: Squadron-Leader Robin Miller, RAF; Mid B 1950-56
I regret to record the death of my younger brother, Robin (R.W.A. Miller), who was in Middleton B from 1950-1956, whence he progressed to a very successful apprenticeship at De Havillands, Hatfield. Frustrated by colour blindness from achieving his aim of becoming a fighter pilot, he discovered tha...
