Brian Ager (1936-2010) – Obituary

June 19, 2010 in Obituaries

It is with deep regret that we report the death on 16th June of Brian Ager, who was a pupil at the School from 1947 until 1954 and a loyal Member of the Association.  By a tragic coincidence, he was a brother-in-law of Bob Jenkins who also died recently.  After leaving Borden, Brian enjoyed a successful academic career – as a College Lecturer in Physics – and had lived for many years in Lancashire, where he will be deeply missed by his many friends as well as his family.

The funeral will take place on Thursday 24th June at 1.30 pm at Silverdale Church, Silverdale, Lancs.  All are welcome in Church.  Family flowers only, but donations if wished to either the Westmorland General Cardiac Centre or to Londsdale Scouts, c/o of the Funeral Directors, Alan M. Fawcett, 71 Main Road, Bolton Le Sands, Carnforth LA5 8DL.

Football Report: Sittingbourne 5 a side league. Season 09/10.

While I was stationed at Kennington I decided that I needed some form of transport and purchased the cheapest form available – an NSU scooter. It set me free from public transport and I was able to trundle back to Sittingbourne  along the A2 when I had a weekend leave. The M2 had not been constructed then and so it was a long slog through the Medway Towns. In the summer I was playing cricket for Murston and in the winter continued to play hockey for the Old Boys.
