| Len Evans OBE AO (G42-48) 30th August 1930 – 17th August 2006 |
Last Updated: Thursday, 17 August 2006
|
 It is with sadness to report the death of Len Evans, the renowned Australian wine guru. Len died suddenly of a heart attack while collecting a friend from hospital near his home in Australia. Len leaves his wife, Trish and his children, Sally, Jodie and Toby.
Friends of the Evans family have reported that the funeral will be on September 16th but we have no official confirmation.
As tributes fill the media (e.g. "The Times" obituary and "The Daily Telegraph"), Mark Birrell G73-83, who lives near Sydney, summed up the generous amiable nature of Len:
"I was fortunate enough to have had lunch with Len when
I arrived in Australia to live in 1991. He was a bloody fine chap. I went to his Pokolbin property and he gave us a tour of
Rothbury Estate. It was a memorable occasion. To most, Len was the
Australian wine industry, very well respected and admired. He said to
me Australia have the best Shiraz in the world and France were starting
to take note. He will be missed immensely.
Lets all have a glass of wine for Len. Better make sure it is a Hunter
Shiraz though!"

| OFs over-run Bisley |
Last Updated: Tuesday, 15 August 2006
|
 The distant rumble of rifle fire which forms the musical accompaniment to the Summer for the residents of mid Surrey must have been mistaken for jungle drums.
Whatever the source of the lure which landed a record number of OFs at Bisley’s Imperial Meeting this year, it was effective.

| OF/OI Golf: Porter's Team wins to level the series |
Last Updated: Tuesday, 20 June 2006
|
 A dozen OFs, recruited once again by our Captain Norman Porter, took on the might of the Old Ipswichians at Woodbridge Golf Club on Monday 19th June and emerged victorious.
After a less than successful outing last year, Norman had given us very firm instructions about winning convincingly, and this obviously did the trick as we won 5-1 to level the Series 2-2 (for the modern era).
