Old Boys will be pleased to hear that the sporting prowess engrained in us at Borden is spreading throughout Europe. Heinie (Wally) Costen and Peter Lusted put their skills to the test and entered a local boules contest at St Angeau in the Charente.

Good news – the OBA War Memorial Appeal is now well on its way to raising the £3,000 required for the new memorial boards. This is due entirely to the generosity of OBA members, many of whom were able to see the newly-finished boards at the reunion dinner on 14 May. The boards look superb, as you can see from the attached photograph, and will be a fitting tribute to those old boys who made the ultimate sacrifice for this country.

Keith Minton who taught languages at Borden from 1970 to 1973 has written a highly entertaining and extemely well written first novel. ”Escape to Paradise” draws on Keith’s personal experience both as a school teacher,although the institution involved is far removed from Borden,and from his observations of the British abroad from stays at his parents’ villa in a remote Southern Spain coastal village (his mother was Spanish). It takes a wry and occasionally hilarious look at British school life,the British dream of a place in the sun and at love and sex.
