I drive my husband to the station in the morning in a red dressing gown with teddy bears. I used to wear my slippers too but had some new ones for Christmas which are not suitable for driving.

I remember the Speech Day after his death - i was only 9 at the time and Dad took me to CH for a Speech Day - I remember the Oration by the SG - sounds tragicjtaylor wrote:Do you mean Band Captain, rather than Master?srcudlipp wrote:R A Slater would be Rick Slater. I had the good fortune of being at CH with Rick in the eighties. He was indeed bandmaster, an extreemely talented Trumpet player. He was also an all round top guy, and is still sorely missed by all those who knew him. RIP RickNyort wrote:...does anybody know of any pupil deaths that happened during their times at C.H.? Just wondering, as a couple of Chapel plaques have been tickling my brain recently - R.A. Slater is one that has kept me wondering, with him being Band Master and everything.
I remember Rick a little - he was a couple of years above me at CH.
He featured in the live Rememberance Sunday Service from CH in 1989/90(?) and did a stunning Last Post from the arch above the Avenue, between Chapel and Dining Hall.
I've got a DVD copy of it that I made from a VHS - he truly was a tragic loss, such a talented a likeable chap.

AFAIR there was no crossing keeper on that one. We used to put old pennies on the lines in front of trains ..... It was also on various cross country run routes.J.R. wrote:....and that crossing had rather a chequered history, what with the crossing keeper/signalman in the 60's !Great Plum wrote:There used to be a railway crossing by the 1st XV pitch and he was killed by a train.

That crossing used to be regularly used by smokers nipping over the line for a quick fag.

As that`s the only point where the railway runs near the school grounds............ where else would there be a railway crossing on school land???Nyort wrote:Owch. Poor guy.
