Peter Mensah Visit

A gathering of 32 OMs took place in Fino’s Wine Bar in Mount St, W1 on 12th Sept 2018, to predominantly celebrate Peter Mensah’s brief visit back to the UK from his new home – New Zealand.

It was an eclectic mix of former MHS pupils and masters too, with the majority being Gentlemen who had either played Rugby with Peter back in the day in the 1st XV at MHS or Headstone Lane for the OMs or an old Girlfriend!

Four of Peter’s former MHS masters, namely Messrs Chris Kelly (current President of the RFU), Rob Clark, Trevor Chilton and Tim Corbett, all put in an appearance, as did the next President of the OMs Club Richard Llewellyn.

The current OMs Club Chairman Peter Wakeham and Bob Marshall Andrews came along at the end of the evening having previously attended the OMs Legal Dinner beforehand, which unfortunately clashed. Other notable attendees were the former OMs Club Chairman Andy Mortimer, plus Windsor Roberts and his two Sisters Karen and Fiona, who

Ridgeway 80 – 85 reckoned they hadn’t all been in the same room together since Christmas 1980…. something!

Other OMs who attended aside from Peter Mensah were Mike Peskin who organised the event, Jeremy Church, Nick Mann, Bill & James Stephens, Onome Akpofure, John Cicale, Ben Nash, David Kelly, Jon Rosswick, Richard Phillips, Jeremy Culverhouse, Nathan Clapton, Mike Solomons, Paul Robin, Eddie Pratt, Niki Turner, Scott Rowland, James Green and James Jephcott.

There were also guest appearances from four non OMs, namely Chris Wright who played with Peter at Harlequins and shared his testimonial with Peter too, Chris Liddington who played Rugby for the OMs with Peter and many others present too.

Plus Lindsay Sims partner of Mike Peskin, and his daughter Emily Peskin, who like Nick Mann’s son – Sonny, both currently work for another OM Charlie Green at The Office Group.
