John Franklin in Cornwall
The Head Master will be visiting Flushing on June 8 to meet Cornwall and Devon OBs over lunch. As we all know, Flushing is the unspoiled jewel of the Cornish coast and OBs from elsewhere looking for a few days in this marvellous area surrounded by the gentle waters of the Fal estuary and within sigh...

Re: Foundation Hymn- Blue CD on YouTube
I have a good sound recording of it from the CD. PM me or telephone if you want it, but don't expect an imminent response - up to the eyeballs in proofing the Blue at the moment.

Re: Foundation Hymn- Blue CD on YouTube
As a parent I have not yet been able to witness this being sung in the Chapel. However just listening to the recording is very moving. I think it is great to have it on you tube and the pics accompany it well. An old recording by the BBC of the Foundation hymn (and others) in chapel. Full video at ...

Proofing the Blue
There is a small team of "proofers" currently proofing the Blue. We have worked on the Old Blue previously, but the Blue is an altogether larger and tougher nut to crack in the very limited time available. We are struggling! If anybody here has the necessary experience, concentration and t...

Timeshare
Among the 500,000 users of timeshare in the UK, must be a number of Old Blues. Some of you may remember that until March this year I was chairman of TATOC (the Timeshare Association) and I thought you might be interested to know that we have just published the autumn issue of Sharetime magazine - ou...

Re: Gemma Newlands
I am still in occasional touch with Gemma - She is blossoming at Oxford (reading classics) and is travelling widely and making a new life for herself. I'm sure we all wish her well.

Re: Sailing in Cornwall
Anyone free to sail to the Isles of Scilly from Penzance on Wednesday? Weather looks good and a few days on these Paradisical islands is a real tonic.
