OB DAY 2011
Old Blundellian Day 2011 will take place on Saturday
18th June.
The theme for the day will be ‘The Law’. All OBs are
very welcome but we hope to attract back as many
as possible who have a connection with the law
including judges, barristers, solicitors and police
officers.

Judge Paul Waterworth has agreed to be President
for the Day. Paul was Head Boy of Blundell’s in
1962. He played for two years in the 1st XV and 1st
XI and was a full colour in both sports. He
subsequently played regularly for the OBCC.
After leaving school, Paul attended the College of Law and was admitted a
solicitor in 1968. He then practised first in London and later in Warwickshire,
where he became senior partner. He became a deputy judge and was
appointed a full time judge in 1999. He sat for 10 years in the Midlands,
increasingly specialising in family cases. He and his wife Helen had owned a
house on Dartmoor for some time and in 2009 Paul moved to the Western
Circuit. He now sits at Exeter and Barnstaple.
In his thirties, Paul took up long distance running and eventually ran 22
marathons, achieving a best time of 3 hours 12 minutes. He ran marathons in
many cities including London, New York, Brussels, Paris and Berlin. He now runs
gently around the boundary of his local cricket club in Lustleigh, dreaming of
those glory days. He competed (successfully) against his son James in The
Russell in 1992 and was delighted to discover that there was still life in the old
legs.
Paul became Chairman of the Old Blundellian Club in 2008.
