ah yes easier to buy nowadays than I thought!

Thanks Ever Bluer, any chance you could post the chapter on here (ok for copyright as just one chapter) but possibly a bit of a faff!

thanks robert have emailed you excellent post

What does giving tangents mean?

What was the comment he made about Tom Jeffers?

thanks

Do people think any of the CH prisoners will be released early? Their release isn't 'imminent' however as elderly prisoners, they are at risk from coronovirus. The first prisoner to sadly die the UK was an elderly sex offender, very similar demographic.

So Cairncross adding this to her list of governorships which already includes Salisbury Cathedral School KES Witley A school in Cornwall and this https://www.aiglon.ch/about-us/school-governance Is there a CH link or just coincidence? what a disgrace- do you have the links to all her roles - needs ...

thanks for the info Bish, hope you are well. Glad his appeal against his lenient sentence was turned down. Did he appeal against just his sentence or his conviction as well. Would be interesting to see a copy if available.

Burr is the only offender who had a local press who covered his conviction by speaking to those who knew him, and publicising the conviction in his home town. Karim bizarrely had a number of defenders in what I can only describe as the 'elite squash club' fraternity. Webb and Dobbie both lived in Fr...

Has anyone been keeping up with any of the offenders (Webb, Burr) and if they have been released from Prison

McCall's name keeps coming up. He appears to have either died or gone abroad. One can't help thinking he will be happy to be as elusive as Lord Lucan. McCall is living in South Africa. I have this on the authority of the Police, when I reported him for sexual assault a couple of years ago If enough...

I remember reading with interest the report of his caution in one of the broadsheets in 1993. It was sympathetically reported with mischievous novices being blamed for him being treated very unfairly. He confirmed me and I was prepared by Dobbie and Porteous. I recall one house communion Ball took ...

This should probably go in a Thread called, "Promises CH made but never completed." The Hertford Avenue seems to have gone the way of the replacement for the CH Club Room. David Miller and I are probably the only CHC committee members on this forum who remember the promise. CHC had a club room at t...

HI. Just seeing if anyone remembers this teacher, or knows who he's up to know. Used to teach 'CDT' (Craft, Design and Technology) in the 1990s, and left, but returned to sailing holidays with the Scouts with Shippen and possibly Burr.

I think that the letter is encouraging. Here are the things that worry me: I believe that Simon Reid was a teacher at the school in the 1990s - and as others have noted - there was knowledge of things going on among the staff in the school in the 1990s. We also know that there must have been knowle...
