John Paine – retirement after 33 years (and other snippets)

Dave Palmer — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 16:11:00 +0000

Many of the younger visitors to the site (at least those under 50 years of age) will recall John Paine, who retired from the school at the end of last term. The East Kent Gazette published an article covering John’s retirement recently and I reproduce this below.

To update Old Boys of the school who don’t have access to the local newspapers, the following articles related to the school have appeared in the last few weeks. The first one (next 2 clips linked) relates to the recent decision by the Government not to take forward the schools building programme initiated by the previous Government.

The next article celebrates the success of the current BGS under 13 cricket team.

And finally, whilst we have published a good deal of information in recent months about the Remembrance activities by Old Boys within the Association, the following article shows that the school also still involve current pupils in such activities.

A member of the OBA committee has passed me a copy of a recent Daily Mail article featuring an Old Boy of the school from the early 1950s. Dennis Fowle is trying to contact team mates from his former cricket team. Are you one of those featured? Do you know any of their whereabouts? The article is reproduced below.

Cricket 1981 – we were in the Sittingbourne Evening League. Note some Old Boys playing for Borden – Alan Boyns, John Hartridge, Paul Dutnall. Traitors or unable to make the Old Boys team?
