Despite a lower than normal attendance of 75, Old Boys of all ages again enjoyed a convivial evening. Graham Barnes, our MC, asked us to remember those Old Boys who we had lost during the year – John Watson, John Johnstone, John Lifton, Bob Jenkins, Len Grice, John Weekes and Terry Veal – the latter two having contributed 80 years of teaching between them at the school. Various apologies were heard as well as a welcome to those who had travelled a great distance – John Miles from Australia, John Faulkner from California and indeed some from the Isle of Sheppey. (It transpired that Phil Nye was also over from Hong Kong and Nigel Balm from Australia). Graham praised the web site and especially thanked Ryan Jarrett and Dave Palmer for all the work that they had put in. He also thanked the organisers of the Dinner – Alan Snelling, Mike Pack and Peter Lusted.

In establishing a Remembrance section of the website, the Association pays tribute to those pupils of Borden Grammar School who made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure the many freedoms we enjoy today, not least the freedom from tyranny. All of us will have glanced up at the names listed on the school’s war memorial boards but how much do we know about the men themselves? When, for example, did they attend the school and what were the circumstances of their deaths?
