LAURIE WEEDEN OG 1938 was interviewed on Guy Martin’s D Day Landings, a programme for Channel 4. Laurie was a Horsa glider pilot and was featured in the Big Interview in DialOGue #3.

OG friends gathered at Olivio’s restaurant in Guildford in February 2020: TONY SHORTER 1956, BOB HOWELL 1957, KEITH HAVELOCK 1958, CARL DORE 1957, NEVILLE HARMS 1958, DAVID GERRARD 1957 AND COLIN MAGGS 1957.

KEITH HAVELOCK OG 1958 retired from the Chartered Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys Council after 48 years, in early 2020. He began his “trade mark career” in the 1950s and has held many senior posts in the profession since then, notably as past President and Honorary member of CITMA, Chairman of Committees and then Secretary General for 10 years of the European Communities Trade Mark Association, and Partner of D Young & Co LLP for 21 years. He has seen the world of Intellectual Property evolve from a relatively small group of dedicated professionals to the independent Chartered organisations of today, and been involved in landmark cases across the years, notably PizzaExpress v Pizza Hut, Waterford, Arsenal and Budweiser to name but a few. Keith says he has been fortunate to have had throughout his career agreeable and talented Partners and associates all over the world. Currently, he is still in regular contact with ten or more of his OG contemporaries, at least half of whom meet annually to have dinner together in Guildford (see the group photo above).

GRAHAM CLARKE OG 1964 came back to visit the School in December 2019.
