AROUND AND ABOUT
Speech Day
Speech Day again had an Old Blundellian as speaker for the
day. Claire Marshall gave away prizes and spoke about her past
Blundell’s career at Balliol College, Oxford and her wide ranging
journalistic experiences travelling around the world reporting for
the BBC.
Other Old Blundellians on the stage were Governors Cedric
Clapp and James Bullock
Further afield
Jeremy Courtney Stamp and Richard White bumped into one
another at the Bahrain Grand Prix. Richard was the guest of
Martin Whitaker and Jeremy handles the Renault team’s legal
matters.
1980S REUNION
Grant Dee Shapland had organised a
successful reunion of sporting OBs from the
80s a couple of years ago. This year he went
for a repeat and is to be congratulated on
getting so many unreliable performers to the
same place at the same time.
The day began with breakfast at a golf club
near Taunton and was followed by a round of
golf. The group then headed off to a box at
the County Cricket Ground for a Twenty
/Twenty game and refreshments. Following
the cricket, they repaired to a local hostelry
and enjoyed an excellent meal with
appropriate drinks! Well done Grant!
