Recent photo of Richard Ruck
Now where's that recent photo of Richard Ruck? There's no call to get yourself all impatient and flustered, Master Bingo. Here it is, a mere six months after you demanded it: http://web.archive.org/web/20071016135122/http://www.chassociation.org/img/board/richard.jpg Doesn't this prove once and for...

Deirdre Pallister & Joy Holmes
I think one of my (near) contemporaries was at Horsham for a while. She was a Doctor, whether she was the Doc there or married to a member of staff I don't know. Her name was Deirdre Pallister at Hertford, but I have no idea of her married name. Deirdre Pallister (2's 1969-76) married Michael Overe...

Gerhardt Bott
I'm afraid I always thought he was a sinister character. He used to give boys electric shocks and show them frightening photographs of Hermione Gingold.

Did the Old Blue Vets win this weekend?

Smells Like CH Spirit
The smells of CH always bring back memories for me. Visited the Counting House earlier in the year, and that distinctive smell brought memories back.
