John Williams (St A 62), who lives mostly in Haifa in Israel, often visits Horley in Surrey and regularly joins ‘Weald walkers’ John Richardson (St A 61), Bev Boag (St A 60) and Martin Boag (St A 62), and sometimes Roland Fairfield (St A 61), Tim Watt (St A 61) and John Horton (Sn 62) for walks and “jolly” pub lunches. Any other OOs wishing to join in, please email John at john1260@gmail.com.
Richard Waterhouse (Lx 89) is now retired from social work and visits his brother, Leckie Waterhouse (Sn 90).
Jonathan Higham (N 79) was delighted to hook up with both Michael Mattinson (N 78) and Stephen Allen (N 78) in 2018 on separate occasions (but, coincidentally, both in July), having not seen them for almost a decade. Jonathan continues his freelance illustration and lectures in Graphic Design and Illustration on the BA course at Sussex Coast College (Hastings) and University of Brighton, where Jonathan will become both student and lecturer at the same time, as he will be undertaking a part-time MA in Graphic Design at Brighton in the autumn. In April, together with partner Katie and daughter Holly, Jonathan moved to Ninfield, near Battle, with his father-in-law, John Strevett, to a larger home to accommodate them all (plus two cats and a wire-haired Dachshund)!
Chris Wood (F 02) reports that he is very happily married to Catheryn and now has three children: Callie (4), Ottilie (2) and new arrival Arlo. They are living in Guildford with a daily commute to London, where he owns and runs Chelsea Vintners. The focus is on “extremely fine wines”, selling them to clients around the world. Evidence, perhaps, of too many post-match afternoons in the Talbot! His brother, Joe Wood (F 05), is living in Wandsworth and working in the City for a utilities business.
Will Jefferson (S 98) has lived in Canterbury now for five years and since moving, has got married twice (to the same wife, Jolindi!) – once in Canterbury Cathedral and once in the Western Cape, South Africa. They have two children, James (2) and recent arrival Grace. He retired from professional
cricket in 2012 and has been working for a management consultancy company, Footdown, for the last four years. He remains in touch with many OO contemporaries. As his family grows up and getting away from the South- East becomes easier (with some sleep under the belt), he will relish his role of following and supporting Oundle Rovers in their quest to win The Cricketer Cup in years to come. Sadly, injuries that curtailed his professional career have put an end to his playing days.
Edward Banyard-Smith (Ldr 95) is still living very happily with his wife, Lisa, and their son, Henry, in Grayshott, near Haslemere, which sits astride the border between Hampshire and Surrey. They moved there six years ago and it is all good. He is still a junior partner in a firm of London solicitors, practising construction law. Several of his partners are Old Oundelians, but he won’t name them all because if he forgets someone, they will get annoyed! There isn’t really much spare time after work and family life, but he has spent what little time he has trying to restore a classic racing bike.
Robert Costin (Sn 89) moved from being Head of Music at St Louis School, Milan, to take up the post of Director of Music at Rugby School, Thailand, in September. He would like to contact OOs there.
Eben Wilson (N 69), who runs companies in telematics based in Hampshire, is leading a pioneering project to build a mid-mass industrial unmanned aerial vehicle system called Sky Hopper (www.skyhopper.co.uk) in his native Ayrshire. In the course of this he has made contact with Charles Morgan (Ldr 69), a peer of his school period, and discovered that the love of innovation runs deeply among OOs in industry as always. Charles is Innovation Director of Alcraft Motors in Towcester. The project has given him the chance to live near his eldest brother, Norman Wilson (N 60), who lives south of Ayr with the best view in the world of the Southern Uplands from his front door. Another brother, Martin Wilson (N 65), has visited southern Scotland from his home in Crowthorne for a clan gathering while preparing national orienteering
