OR Dinner 4th July 2009 - Make it a good one!

I have to say that after an initial bout of enthusiasm I rather gave up on the Old Ruymian blog. Blogger didn't help, I had to click show full list of blogs (personal greed means I have a number), before the Old Ruymian blog appeared in the list. I was delighted recently to take a look at it and find 5 comments on my first posting; bit like catching a fish of Margate pier really! So I thought I better get my tackle sorted out and ... enough of that metaphor.
If you want to join the old ruins, or to come to the dinner then the man to contact is Tony Taylor (if you click on his name it should set up an email for him, if this doesn't work then his email address is ataylorconsult@hotmail.com )
A lot has happened since 2007 when I made my last post. John Matthews has left the post as Prime Minister, sorry, Head Master of Chatham House and we have a new Executive Head, David Smart, reponsible for both Chatham House and Clarendon House (can't really understand why they don't just merge them and be done with it, but perhaps we'll find out at the dinner??). Paul Birchley, a contemporary of mine in 6Sc1A and 6Sc2A, is now the assistant headmaster at the school [I have to say I am sure that this is a fine choice], and I am a trainee maths teacher about to start a new career at the Marlowe Academy in Ramsgate. Should you hazard across this article I would urge you to link up with the Old School once again, having just past 50 years myself, I think we are ready to bring out the orange segments and discuss tactics for the second half!
