Anything that doesn't fit anywhere else, but that's still CH related.

Howard Holdsworth (1966-73) (Staff 1992 - present)
Peter Newell (1992-99) (Security on and off from 2002 - present)
Tom Law (1992-99) (Theatre Manager 2006 -)
Debbie GP (1988-95??) (CHE 2000ish for a couple of years)
Charlie Farqueson-Roberts (1989-96?) (staff 2005 -)
Mr Whitehouse (unknown) - he taught CDT until the end of my 3rd form
Richard McDonald (unknown) - he taught French and was housemaster of Mid B until 1993
Adrian Bawtree - current Organist
Mr Kirby - he lived at CH pretty much all of his life didn't he?

Who have I missed out? Can anyone else fill in the gaps?
Mr Kirby was an old blue? am i thinking of the right one-English Teacher

Jess Clenshaw (musician in residence 02-03)
and various others over the years
Wrong Mr Kirby - I'm thinking of the guy who died in the 90's(in his 90's) who had worked as a Physics(??) teacher and lived in a bungalow on the 2 mile ash road and he kept bees. He also had an obnoxious dog

I don't know, but he was my parents' best man!
I think it was Howard who told me Robin taught at the school at our Maine A reunion back in May.

And rightly so. Very bad form.

It could be considered worrying though that I've married a man who also gets upset about the noses being taken off stiltons and loves the Lake District and has an appreciation of books like Swallows and Amazons. :o

Mrs Weill, 3's housemistresses in the 50s/60s, was an old 6s girl - but I don't know her maiden name - I think her Christian name was Mary.

I think you should be worried!

However, I am now a GSL!

And Mrs C - I can't spell and type at the same time!

Matt - do you test your scouts on geography, have a tent call the wolery and demand tea and biscuits at 1600?

Well last week we did mapwork!

I'm persuading them that going to the Norfolk Broads is a good idea! :)

Why not do something scouty then?

Was a Scout Leader for a bit at Uni.

I would do it again - but we're moving house (and therefore districts) shortly. Thereafter I'll be getting my advanced wife badge level 3 which meant we had to upgrade our camping kit to Wolery proportions last Bank Holiday.

Thinking of headmasters, so was Mr Baker (79-85) and his successor who was at CH for 5 terms...
