| Help with 1936 Rugby 1st XV Photo |
Last Updated: Monday, 31 October 2005
|
 UPDATE 9 Nov 2005 - the last player is confirmed as A J Brown.
UPDATE 31 Oct 2005 - John Simpson (K32-36) and Ken Knight (K32-38) have now identified all but one name but have added possible suggestions. It is sobering to realise that 5 of the team were killed in action and appear on the College War Memorial.
We have received several photos from the possessions of the late John Randell (SOF President G54-63). One of the photos was of the 1936 Rugby 1st XV. Exactly why John had a copy of this photo is not clear. If anyone can assist with the names of the people in the photo then please email the Website Team.
I would guess that most of the team left Fram in 1937 or 1938, so about 1 year after Norman Borrett. The photo is inscribed with names but unfortunately they are indistinct but might help prompt someone's recollection. We will add names to the Gallery photo as we learn them.

| OFGS v Aldeburgh ends in 4-all draw after an early lead |
Last Updated: Friday, 23 September 2005
|
 Robin Anderton and his eight-man team had a terrific 36-hole struggle against Aldeburgh Golf Club on 17th September and built themselves a 2 1/2 to 1 1/2 lead by lunch. However, Aldeburgh fortified themselves sufficiently to pull-back to 4 - 4 by the end of the day, which was very much enjoyed by all concerned.

| OF Suffolk Supper to be a Howard Robinson Testimonial |
Last Updated: Tuesday, 9 August 2005
|
 Howard Robinson, affectionately and universally known as Zowie, retired from full-time teaching at the end of the Summer Term, after twenty-five years at the College. Generations of Framlinghamians have been inspired by his enthusiasm and unfailing good humour both as Head of Biology (which he has been throughout, and later deputy Head of Science as well) and as a tireless organiser and participant in the Barbershop Group (which he founded) and the Choir. What better, then, than to use the occasion of the OF Suffolk Supper on October 1st to bring these generations back together to sing Zowie's praises and, particularly for old Biology students, to take a tour of the Bio Labs.
