| OF awarded Nuffield Farming Scholarship |
Last Updated: Monday, 8 May 2006

 Paul Baker (K80-90) has been awarded a Nuffield Farmng Scholarship to study ‘Mixed Farming- diversification or diversion in a global market?’
Paul has already started some European travel and will be visiting China in June. He also expects to be visiting other countries later this year but not yet finalised. Paul is keen to hear from and/or meet up with other OFs on his travels.
Paul would be most interested in hearing from Old Framlinghamians that feel that they have progressive contacts in mixed farming systems around the world that could advance his study and maybe allow him to visit. Click here to email Paul Baker.

 We have added three recent aerial photos of the College and surrounding grounds to the Photo Gallery. These were taken in August 2004 by friends / relatives of Andrew Payn, the Estates Bursar at the College. The pictures show good detail even though they have been considerably reduced from the originals - about 6Mb each.

| OF "behind" the News |
Last Updated: Wednesday, 22 March 2006

 Many of you may have been following the trial and recent death of Slobadan Milosevic. Some of the media pictures have shown glimpses of Nick Innell (S67-75) who is Chief of Security at The Hague. Nick says these are busy times for him but he hopes to be able to tell us more about his career and work at a later time.
(I understand that one picture of Nick alongside Marko Milosevic was in the International Herald Tribune for Wed 15th March. If anyone has a copy of the photo, we would be pleased to receive it).
