| OF Nephews Launch Desktop Battalion |
Last Updated: Sunday, 6 May 2012

 Many Old Framlinghamians will remember Nick Ward, Honorary OF, Housemaster of Stradbroke House (1981-86) and then College Bursar from 1986-91. Others will also remember his daughter Emma (now Woollard) and Simon who were at Brandeston and then respectively in Pembroke (82-91) and Ziegele (83-93).
Emma has just been in touch to say, “My little brother (Major Simon Ward) has just left on active service to Afghanistan and will be away for six months. In order to support him and his fellow service chaps my boys (Freddie, 10, and Toby, 8) and I have come up with the idea of The Desktop Battalion. Regardless of what your political, humanitarian or ethical views may be, we have some very brave service men and women a long way from home doing a tough job in our country's name and I hope that fellow Old Framlinghamians will want to offer their support to them. I know, of course that many will already have contributed to appeals like mine.

Chris Essex (K69-75) writes : I’m organising another West of England Supper on Saturday 7 July 2012. After a great time at the Angel for the last few years, looked after our charismatic host Doug, I hope to see many familiar and new faces at this year's supper. The Angel Inn at Hindon, is located just off A303 between Warminster and Shaftesbury. Why not make a weekend of it as Doug is holding a number of rooms in my name.

| Halford Hewitt - Match Report |
Last Updated: Friday, 20 April 2012

David Turnbull (OFGS Hon Sec) reports: On Thursday, 29th March we were drawn to play against Shrewsbury, twice winners of the Cup, in the first round at Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club, Deal. By way of preparation, our new captain, Richard Graves, arranged for the team to have practice rounds at the beginning of March and it is hoped that this exercise can be repeated next year.
As usual, it was going to be a very tough match, particularly as four changes had to be made to the original team at short notice due to unavailability and injury. The team comprised of Richard Graves, Peter Watts, Jonny Newton, Charlie Plunkett, Gavin Cowell, John Wybar, making a welcome return after illness, Robin Anderton, Roger Wharton, Martin Lamb and Michael Spencer. We were greatly indebted to Robin, Roger, Martin and Michael, who all made the long journey down from Suffolk on the morning of the match to complete the team.

 James Mehta, OFRC Secretary, writes, "The OF Rifle Club hosted a day of coaching at Bisley for the College cadets on Sunday 4th March.
Thirteen young shooters braved hideous weather, but were able to zero their cadet target rifles before venturing out onto a cold and rain swept Century Range to shoot at 300 yards. For some it was their first experience of Bisley, and we hope the weather hasn’t deterred them!"
