News of 1960s Leavers

Well done to Chris Wynne (Co ’64) who, at the end of October, was appointed Captain of Bewl Bridge Rowing Club.

He tells us: “To be asked to stand for this post was an unexpected surprise as I shall be 77 on 11th November! I am a Founder Member of the Club which is situated on Bewl Water Reservoir, through which the Kent and East Sussex County boundary runs. In fact I am the only founder member still actively rowing there. I was its first Captain when the club started in 1977 and Secretary for a few years too. My rowing began while at the School in 1962, on the Grand Union Canal, with Colin McDougall and Tim Jolly.”

For many of us, the thought of taking part in a 5k running race is enough to make our knees quiver and heartbeat skip to “Salsa” mode, but not Jane Gibson (née Sloan, Ho ’60). Not only has Jane run the London Marathon… again(!), she also simultaneously took part in the Abbott World Age Championships race, achieving an impressive time of 5hrs and 57mins – so imagine our surprise when we learnt that Jane hasn’t always be this athletically inclined!

When the ‘Double Trouble Marathon Machine’ isn’t running around (literally), you will find her potting and plotting her next getaway (and all while still working as a physio).

We’re pleased to announce that, after serving as Chairman of the Ferrari Owners’ Club of Great Britain for six years, Nigel Chiltern-Hunt (Be ’64) has been appointed as their new Vice-President.

Richard Cutts (Be ’65) got in touch to let us know that his company, Magneglaze (founded in 1994) is still going strong. He wishes all his fellow OBs well and has mentioned that it’s been a while since you all last met up…

If you’d like to catch up, please drop Richard an email: richard@magnegaze.co.uk

We look forward to reading a roundup of your (unofficial) reunion in next year’s magazine!
