As I have said, Andy, the three chief officers are retiring. Coincidence- yes; conspiracy - no. That is the way it is.

The Head Master retires in July 2007. The Clerk also retires then. The Treasurer has announced that he will also stand down at the same time.

Saw Mike Chapman at Arundel three years ago. Still the world's most amazing guitarist and as gruff as ever. Talked for a while with him about the gig in Big School c.1970 (we have Roger Allam to thank for that, I think). He said he remembered it vividly for he and his wife Andru were on the way to F...
