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 ...

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.

Sailing in Cornwall

DBTS wishes to celebrate his promotion to Commodore of the CH Cruising and Sailing Club by inviting any Old Blues who would like to sail in Cornwall to get in touch with him.

His colleague in Preb B - my house master - was G.W. ("Great Whacker") Pink. But he was, I think, a gentler soul.
