Rosemary Sidwell, an OH Hon. Life Vice-President, pointed out to us that in a Daily Telegraph obituary of Major-General Patrick Crawford, which some OHs may have read, it was related that Patrick Crawford MO to the Gurkhas on operations in Sarawak in 1964 extricated Major Eric ‘Birdie’ Smith (C 33-41) from a crashed helicopter, first having applied a tourniquet and amputated Birdie’s trapped arm with a clasp knife sharpened by a Gurkha.

Jill Smith is delighted for us to publish this account. 03/09

Roddy Wakeford (M 69-73) welcomed March rain in the Cape, where they moved five years ago, but says he has had an annus horribilis in terms of work and resigned, but since September has been consulting for a construction and property company in Somerset West. He hopes to run another residential golf estate. Roddy and his second wife Nicky have two whippersnappers, Oliver 7 and William 8.

Our deepest sympathy goes to Honor and her sons John and Christopher and their families.

Bill spent his working life in banking, first with the Chartered Bank in the Far East and then with Lloyds at the Stroud branch in Gloucestershire. Bill lived on an estate, which had previously been a farm owned by the Stanton family, which did so much to move Allhallows from Honiton to Rousdon. 11/08

Andrew and his wife Caroline have four children all at excellent Bristol schools; they have visited Sherri Bodden in the Caymen Islands and heard from Nick Turnbull, who has worked in Afghanistan and married recently. Andrew occasionally takes his family down the undercliff in the summer and they can’t believe Dad was at school in the Peek pile up there. Andrew thinks had the school expanded to fit harsher times it may have stopped being the special place it was – visits to pub and Andrew Henry (best man at each others weddings) with rugger, school plays, music and for him European history which to the amazement of his children he can still remember. 10/08

Toby Simmonds (St 84-88) was made redundant after 14 years as a biologist with Cancer Research UK, but is now the brewer for Dark Star, a large micro-brewery in Sussex.

Don Palmer (St 52-57). Many of you will be shocked and saddened to hear that Don Palmer died of a heart attack on Tuesday (16/9/08)evening while on holiday in France. For those of you who played at North Hants last week and saw him in good form it is especially hard to take in this sad news. He was a stalwart of OH Golf and a good friend of us all.

Jamie Martin (Sh 73-78) joined the Army after Bristol University and is still serving. He lives in Dorset but works for the MOD and has three teenage children, all at Sherborne Schools.

Always searching for ‘the Truth’ he delved in Eastern Religions but returned to Christianity and started lay-preaching.

Kevin is now a GP at Penshurst in Kent. Derek remembers you as a wonderful contributor to the Allhallows Mag. In 1980. He hopes to retire soon. Kevin has two daughters, two step-sons and lives in Chichester; he intends to do some travelling. 09/08

Jane Bruce, née Bell (Ch 76-78) graduated from Cardiff with a History degree in 1981 –secretarial course followed which was useful, because when she married Rory in 1985 it was easy to follow his postings mainly in the Netherlands where their eldest son Robin was born. Rory left the Marines in the late 80s and they settled in Somerset. Toby was born in 1990 and Jane took a PGCE and worked for a decade in the State system and qualified in dyslexia; she now works full-time at Millfield Prep. Rory is now a reservist in the RM.

Nigel Molesworth (M 73-78) went to the Middlesex Hospital Medical School from Allhallows and met his wife Jane, an Australian physio. After jobs around London and Essex they moved to Adelaide and finally beautiful Brisbane where they have two children and he is a GP. Their daughter Emma 13 goes to Allhallows School. A girls’ school. No one believes it when Nigel says he went to Allhallows, though some of them think he could have gone there! His son Nicholas 15 is a good rugby player for Middlesex Hospital 1 st XV once until they realised he couldn’t see properly and threw the ball to the opposition. But Nigel still supports England the underdog. 09/08

Mike Spark (Sh 73-78) briefly studied Business after Allhallows and became a marine insurance broker at Lloyds. Three years later, with Tish he followed Will Lead to SA and is still there after 25 years, as a property developer enjoying a fantastic life-style, despite political uncertainties.

The family explored the Undercliffs, where many a game of British bulldogs was played on Goat Island, until it was banned. 10/07

Patrick Baily (C 41-47) was sorry he wasn’t able to attend James Turner’s ‘Memorial Service’, but was represented by Sean Day-Lewis (M 38-49). Patrick had been with Margaret on a Saga tour of Spain and will be off to Leptis Magna in November, while they can still walk; they hope to be at the AGM. 10/07

David Henderson (St 57-61) sent a fascinating local newspaper cutting about James Turner, dated 31 st May 1935, soon after he joined Allhallows to teach chemistry, performing with the ‘Honiton Harmaniacs’ in the School Hall, under the direction of R.B.Morgan, also on the Staff. The report says that following ‘Happy Days Are Hear Again’ Mr.J.D.Turner made a hit in the vocal part of ‘Getting Around and About’ and Mr. R.B.Morgan at the xylophone revealed himself as a versatile instrumentalist. In the ever welcome ‘Whispering’ the muted trumpet parts of Mr. Turner and H.B.Bell-Syer were very effective. The report continues with a rip-roaring account of other star turns in support of the Allhallows Building Fund. Great credit went to Arthur Dimond, one of the stewards. 10/07

John Stevens (C 50-51), who lives in Stafford, Queensland, met Michael Shaw, our new Treasurer, Nigel and Derek in Lyme Regis in October, while he was on holiday in the UK. John has happy memories; of Allhallows and some of the great characters on the staff, like Horace Lee, Jack Jarchow, James Turner and the encouragement he received from Jean Hill as a photographer. John left Allhallows early for a career as an high society photographer; he later became an international press photographer in SE Asia and ran Colleges of Photography in Melbourne and Brisbane. John gave Mike Shaw some useful information on a projected holiday to Fraser Island off Queensland. 10/07

Lorna Beecher (née Rutherford) (Ch 93-95) was married in September; the sun was shining, her sister Fiona, who has also married recently was there, together with Sophie Freeman, Gemma Weeks, Hari Bethell, Sarah and Lucy Hawkes. Our congratulations to you both. 10/07

 Annabel Sedgwick (née Massey) (Ch 87-92), former Head of School, who lives at Fen Drayton, Cambs., is expecting her second baby; she keeps in touch with Annabel Lintott (née Barten) (Ch 90-92), who enjoys Nigel’s e-mails and hears from Nick Thomas, whose wife is expecting their second child, Sam Fenwick-Smith, Vicky Price, Jo Powl and Helen Robinson, who is about to have her second baby, and works for the same company as Chris Quinn. 10/07

Patrick Musters (St 68-70) was saddened like so many OHs to hear that James Turner had passed away. Patrick, a Solicitor Advocate, regularly sees Peter Read (C 64-67), keen OH golfer, who will be next year’s Captain of the Law Society Golf Club, which has many domestic and international fixtures with golf Society’s, though Patrick doesn’t expect him to be in the office much. 10/07

Andy Moore (V 53-58) recently found himself sitting beside a chap he has known for years called Christopher Stone at a financial gathering on the Bristol circuit. Over lunch he discovered that Christopher is half-brother of the late Carey Stone, Venning Housemaster, and visited Allhallows frequently to collect and deliver Carey, who didn’t drive. Christopher, who owns Carey’s Cottage on the Gower peninsular, also knew Christopher Davis (St 55-56), a contemporary of Andy. 10/07

Dr. David Wilson (B47-50) wrote a super newsy letter from Australia, where for many years he practised as a G.P. He said James Turner called him ‘ clickety-click’, a reference to his shooting scores, and said he was too tiny to progress far at rugger, though he later captained the 1 st XV. The sport he enjoyed most was hockey in which he gained his 1st XI Colours, under an inspiring coach, Norman Borrett. Many of David’s contemporaries became Doctors, the Booth boys, Ian Green, ‘Boogie’ Hawkins, David Taylor and Steele-Perkins. David was at Trinity College, Dublin, like George Shallow and Jack Jarchow, who played cricket for the Gentlemen of Ireland, and as we all remember took snuff and would sneeze into a large red handkerchief. David did National Service in the RAF and served in Ulster and on Christmas Island. After a spell as a G.P. in London and the C.I., he emigrated to Australia, which he has never regretted. 10/07

Robert MacCarrach (V62-67) wrote from North Serbia, where he has a self-catering holiday home, once part of Austria-Hungary. Robert remembers James Turner with affection, a wonderful Physics master, also Peter Stirling and of course Tom Wallace. He regrets not working harder but had a successful army career and always looked forward. Robert canoed to the Cobb in Lyme Regis last spring and shot away on the tide to Bridport. Call on me next time Robert. 10/07

JAMES TURNER

 OHs who knew him will be very sorry to hear learn that James died on Thursday, 27 th September 2007. James was at Allhallows as man and boy for over 50 years – for 15 of them as Second Master. He became a legend at the school as master-in-charge of Fullbore Shooting, winning the Ashburton 7 times and doing the hat-trick in 1963, 1964 and 1965. He was also an outstanding teacher of chemistry, housemaster of Venning and for a while Acting Headmaster.
His son Jeremy and daughter Jane welcome OHs to a Memorial Service for James on Wednesday, 3 rd October 2007, at 2pm prompt in St. Andrew’s Church, Colyton. 09/07

Phil Yolland (M 92-96), remembered by many of his contemporaries as an outstanding games-player and actor, reports that he moved to Surrey, where he worked for about seven years in arboriculture, gardening and landscaping. He enjoyed sport and played rugger for Esher and had a long-term girl friend, but had to return to Devon for a bone-graft, the result of a rugger injury. He now runs Urban- Earth, which concentrates on arboricultural and landscaping contracts; he has been working on a heritage site recently near Axmouth. Phil hopes to start some construction courses soon to add to his other qualifications; he has substituted rugger for martial arts and yoga and is holidaying in India this winter. Phil would love to hear from friends of Allhallows days. 09/07

Jonathan Meier (V 85-91) visited the OH Website, promoted by James Eyre (V 86-92), with whom he still keeps in touch. Jonathan can’t believe it is 16 years since he left; he has his own company dealing with commercial, residential property lettings and land management, based in Castle Cary. Jonathan dealt with the Rousdon estate and feels it is very sad seeing all the changes, but guesses that is what is called progress. He lives near Sherborne with his dogs and two hunters and blames Nigel for his urge to change a Subaru into a pick-up! 09/07

Richard Green (B61-65) sent the sad news that his brother Robert Green (B54-59) died on the 1st September 2007. The funeral will be at St.James’ Church, Shirley, Southampton on Tuesday. 11th September 2007, at 1.00pm. Robert joined the school 30 years after his father left in Honiton. Robert became Head of House and the School; he enjoyed rugger and cricket and was a useful bowler who played for the 1st XI; he held the record for running the round trip to the Harbour Inn in Axmouth, but also won the Governor’s Senior English Prize, a subject he read at Southampton university; he took his MA at Leeds and taught at various universities in East Africa before acquiring a PhD at Manitoba. Robert became Coordinator of Student Services at Southampton from 1989-2003. The sympathy of the Club goes to Robert’s wife Ernestine and the four children.
Details of the funeral can be obtained from R.C.Payne on 02380-773776. 09/07

Michael Ray-Hills (M 40-49) was sorry not to have been able to attend many OH events this year, but he has been recovering from hip problems. Nevertheless he hopes to be at the AGM and is then heading for Perth to visit his son’s family- keen hockey players like Mike, who love it there. 08/07

Philip Graves-Morris (H 74-97). Philip was Head of Art at Allhallows. He came to Allhallows from Portora College, Northern Ireland, where he had already proved himself. He studied Art at The Ruskin, Oxford.
You will all remember how Philip could galvanise teen-agers to give of their best. The examination results were impressive with many of the ablest students going to the top Art Schools. Philip was also a talented coach of Rugger and Clay-Pigeon shooting. In the art school and as a House Tutor a Guide, Philosopher and friend to many boys and girls. In recent years he had run Art courses in Siena.
He will be missed by all his friends. Our sympathy and support goes to his family. 08/07

Richard Tracey (H 77-89) remembered by so many OHs as an outstanding Senior English master, who succeeded me as Chudleigh housemaster, had a letter published in ‘The Daily Telegraph’ on 17 th August 2007, on the problems created for universities by the dumbing down of A-levels. Richard suggested that, although S-levels no longer exist – taken by the ablest pupils in the good old days – there is now an A-level supplementary examination called Advanced Extension Award. If top universities are having trouble selecting students, why do they not insist that students have AEA in addition to A-level? The assisted-places scheme at independent schools could be restored, if state schools couldn’t cope. 08/07

Peter Anker (M 44-47) and his wife Anne met D.J.B. in Axminster when they were down on one of their regular jaunts to visit Anne’s stepmother who lives in Lyme Regis. Rummaging through some old photos I see Peter was in the 1947 1 st XI with John Leveson, Bill Luff and Mike Ray-Hills and as many of you know became Chairman of the Governors of the A.E.F. 08/07

Andy Moore (V 53-58) reports that he has survived the ills that afflict so many of us – fingers crossed! Andy and Trish are still building madly at their property in France. 08/07

Mike Rookes (M 57-61) wrote to say that Chris Bazalgette (St 52-53), who has worked for many years for ‘The Cricketer’ has been honoured with a Retirement and Benefit Dinner on Thursday, 13 th September 2007, at the Rose Bowl, The Hampshire Suite. The Guest Speaker will be Robin Smith, Hampshire and England and the Master of Ceremonies Shaun Udal, Hampshire and England. Chris made a phenomenal contribution to Cricket over the years, not only as a player but also as a friend to many of us. For the Hampshire Hogs he has claimed over 1300 wickets. Chris was a champion of OH Cricket ever since he left Allhallows and the Hon.Sec. has happy memories of his skilfully pitched off-cutters, which removed the most confident batsmen. OH cricketers who knew him well might like to send Christopher and June a card on their retirement; Potwell House, Heath Road, Portsmouth, Hants PO7 5SA. 08/07

Leslie Barr (H 52-62), former housemaster of Baker and Senior Maths Master, who later taught at Fettes, phoned D.J.B. in the sunshine of early August, for a chat about the good old days. Leslie said he had heard from Sir John Lister Kaye (St 59-64) who very kindly sent him a copy of one of his books, and was delighted that Roddy Long (B 58-63), his first Head of House in Baker, is our new President. 08/07

Bruce Tickell Taylor (W 34-36), who was in Walpole House, when Allhallows was in Honiton, lives in California and says he is happy to have the Newsletter on the Internet, which would save the Club postage. 08/07

 Nick Bardoni (M 72-77) had lunch recently at the Tate Britain with his former housemaster, Geoff Johnston (H 63-77), when visiting the Hogarth exhibition. Nick says he is still earning a living churning out music for film and advertising. Geoff who resides in Gloucester coped admirably as a Middy housemaster and would with the floods and water shortages.08/07

Kathy Snowsill (L 90-93) after graduating in Statistics works for Amsaf, in Bridport, a firm which has many contracts with the military. D.J.B. was delighted to meet her parents in Lyme Regis and hear her latest news. Bridport is the resort Kathy of several OH hockey players. 07/07

Claire Sargeant (Ch 90-94) says Maisy arrived in September and she and her husband have another on the way in January, so she will be busy to say the least. Claire is still teaching and i/c Graphics at Todmorden High School – one of the most popular and successful GCSE and AS/A2 courses. Claire has just finished being Head of Year 7, as they have just introduced pastoral managers. Claire loves teaching and will return part-time after baby2, if the school allows it. There is only so much one can do as a mummy! School holidays are great for a mum. We remember you Claire as one of Anne Giles’s and Philip Graves-Morris’s star art students and for your performances in Pygmalion and in that spiffing production of ‘Noises Off’ by Andy Penman, Andy is Head of the Secondary and Primary Schools in the Scillies.07/07

James Dann (L 88-93) and Courtney are living in Leeds and still earning the wage. They have finally set a date for the one-way ticket to Canada; 1 st  September 2008.

Jeremy Best (C 67-72) appeared on the TV in early July, discussing the appalling effects of the wettest June since 1914 on strawberry crops. Jeremy who farms fresh fruit in Cornwall said the losses to fellow farmers will be colossal, though his covered crops should do well in August. Jeremy’s father Peter Best (C 37-40) was a welcome guest with Paul Stumbles (C 33-39) at the West Country Lunch at Sidmouth. Jeremy’s brother Kim (C 65-69), as his father was, is a long-serving pilot in the RAF. 07/07

Stephen Weary (St 75-78), while travelling around the world with his wife, spent 3 weeks with Adam Cassels (B 73-78) on the shores of lake Como. Steven resides in Sherbrooke, Canada and would be delighted to hear from contemporaries. 06/07  

Simon Brown (St 75-78) visited the School last year, only to discover it is a residential development. When Simon left Allhallows he worked in Austria, Germany and France a couple of years mainly following the sun and snow! On his return to the UK he decided. Or rather his father did, on a career in the Forces, so he joined the Royal Marines and trained at Lympstone, totally different from the place he visited in the CCF. He spent 6 years in the Marines visiting some exciting places and then trained as a Sound Technician with the BBC. Simon mainly works on feature films – recently with Michelle Phiffer and Donald Sutherland. He also does occasional TV work and worked with Robson Green and Mark Benton on ‘City Lights’. Simon moved to Hamburg with his wife about 3 years ago. If any OH friends are in Hamburg and fancy a beer, contact Simon. 06/07

Robert Middleton (L89-94) sent a breezy note to Aunt Agatha that he is now the father at 31 of a little girl of 2½ who looks just like Rob! After graduating in History at UWE Bristol, Rob worked for the Min. of Ag. In Exeter for 3 years, but that was enough and he moved to London’s hostels – great fun, but dangerous at times! Then on to chill out in Edinburgh and to a kibbutz in Israel, great weather but everyone has a gun – even the cats! He returned to the UK in 2003 and found work in a call centre. Rob’s sister Sarah (Ch 90-92) got a first in Mathematics from Reading and gained a PGCE, but didn’t like teaching – too much social work and too many rules and regs, so she starts an MSc at Bath this year. Rob hopes to be at the AGM and Reunion – even if he has to buy a new suit! 06/07

Don Hunter (V 63-66) returned to the UK in 2004, after 31 years overseas in the Maldives, Nepal, USA, Hong Kong and South Africa, to work as a general manager for Virgin Atlantic, but after 3 years here he is returning to Asia to become Managing Director of Macao Airport, so if there are any OHs there he would be glad to hear from them.06/07

Among them were Richard Hurlock, Peter Read, Robert Morton, Patrick Groves, Nick Lerwill and Roger Hopkins, who said they had been to Rousdon Estate to inspect an expensive house for sale! Peter has been playing golf with the OHs and they all hope to be at the AGM and Reunion at the RAC Club. 06/07

OHs who knew Warwick King-Martin (B 56-60) will be very sorry to hear that he died at home in Brisbane on 5 th May 2007, after a courageous battle against cancer.

The children and grandchildren give them great pleasure, as they look forward to retirement. 06/07

Kathryn Cox (Ch 89-94) apologises for not having corresponded before; she wrote in May that she is on a Driving Tour Guide in the Jasper National Park, Alberta Canada, showing English-speaking visitors from the safety of a minibus: elk, mountain goats, moose, wolverines and bears! Sadly her 12 months work visa expires in September, so she will return to the UK and resume her true career as a Ski Instructor and Rep for Powder Byrne in Europe. Kathryn has run chalets for Inghams for several seasons and misses the ‘après ski’, which the Canadians don’t have. Bless ‘em! Kathryn attended Ian Smith’s (B 89-94) wedding and has been in touch with Louise Merrett (Ch 89-94), a brilliant London architect who completed her degree with a First. 05/07

Sophie Jordan (Ch 88-93) e-mailed from Brazil that she has just finished a tour of the Panama Canal and was crossing the border to Bolivia. Sophie says she will spend a few days in La Paz and work out the next leg; she has been offered a job at an animal sanctuary looking after a Puma or a Spectacled Bear and wonders whether to take it.

David Peckham (M39-45) received his OH Magazine and was horrified to see it cost £2.17p to send by Air Mail, quite a dent in the Club’s finances. David suggests all members who have a registered e-mail address should be asked (be Told?!) to download and print a copy via the Internet. David has nobly asked for his name to be deleted from our mailing list. Many thanks for your suggestion David. The Committee will no doubt discuss this. A few years ago we saved an appreciable amount by asking OHs to read the Newsletter on the Website, but we have found many OHs like to have a magazine they can hold in their hands and browse through at leisure (which they can do if they are able to download). 04/07

Richard Tracey (H 77-89) and Caroline (H 86-89), Christopher and Henry, are very grateful to Alexis Bisbas (Sh 77-82) who lent them a secure mooring while they rode out a gale in Paros aboard ‘Miranda’ last September.

He is now with the Harrier Force at RAF Cottesmore. 04/07

Bruce Tickell Taylor (W 34-36) was in Walpole House, when Allhallows was in Honiton.

D.J.B. likes to think there were some practical results in studying ‘The Expansion of Europe’ at O-level.
Arthur was sorry to read of the deaths of Vacy Lyle (B 33-37) and Tony Hollow (B 36-40), an outstanding full-back. Arthur says he only had one memorable term at Rousdon, when he sees the enthusiasm of the OHs reflected in the Newsletter, whether some of them might consider refounding the school in a new location.

Stuart Hunt (V 50-55) who came to our Forde Abbey Centenary Luncheon, says the conjoined photo my brother took of the OH group there reminded him of those he took canoeing with a group of retired rugby players down the Coppermine River to the Beaufort Sea in the Northwest Territories.

The black flies and mosquitoes were a nuisance, but frost even in the summer usually made them disappear. Stuart says he has sold his company to his son, but will work part-time for a year or two. As winters in Alberta, his home state, start in November with temperatures dropping to -30º, he and his wife usually spend a month in Naples, Florida. It was great to meet you at Forde Abbey Stuart.
