Reunion Dinner 2012 – update
April 11, 2012 in Events
Unfortunately our planned speaker, Major Crispin Humm, has had to withdraw due to overseas commitments. However, anticipating that he would not necessarily be in complete control of his own future movements, we had already lined up a very able replacement. We are pleased to inform you that Martyn Calder will now be our guest speaker.
Martyn departed Borden in 1969 for Reading University, and subsequently qualified as a chartered surveyor specialising in estate management strategy. He has been responsible for the establishment and launch of Workspace Group (now a quoted company), and of Chatham Maritime Trust, a community charity which manages the major part of the former Chatham Naval Dockyard, where he was chief executive until 2010. In a parallel life he has also run a personal development training company and is trained in neuro-linguistic programming and life coaching.
We look forward to seeing you on May 12th – see the earlier article on March 4 with the Reservation Form.

Borden Grammar School – Academy Status
February 26, 2012 in Borden Grammar News
Below is a cutting from the local newspaper – Sittingbourne News Extra – announcing the news that BGS now has academy status and giving a brief overview of what that means. As an aside, for those old boys who don’t have regular contact with the Sittingbourne area, you may not have heard that the East Kent Gazette, source of all local news for the vast majority of us, ceased publication last December (2011) after being in existence for 156 years!

Old Boy in Vietnam
February 12, 2012 in Guest Posts, Video
Once more showing just how far and wide Old Boys spread themselves around the world, we have a link to Philip Spencer, a resident of Vietnam, celebrating Tet or the Lunar New Year, with his family. Philip is a contemporary of Dave Palmer, our website engine room and ”guardian”. If you are in any doubt about which one is Philip – think “Mikado”.
