Last Updated: Monday, 22 May 2006

 Norman Porter, our indefatigable General Secretary and Editor, has set up a new family entertainment venture for OFs, their families and (we hope) members of the College 6th Form. On offer at Cretingham Golf Club (click the link for their website) will be golf (18 holes and/or a pitch-&-putt competition), tennis, boules, table-football and a barbecue. Golf will get under way at 11.00am at a cost of £10.00 and the BBQ will start at 3.00pm and go on and on (we hope) at a cost of £7.50 a head.
If you'd like more details, or to register your interest, please Email Norman Porter.

| 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.
