Reaching New Heightsby Tony Jhangiani-Jashanmal (’65, P’97) Governor“Chairman, Head Master, Board Members, formerand present staff, fellow alumni, parents, studentsand friends, I welcome you to this marvellous newsports facility which enhances the school’s presentfacilities tremendously.I would like to thank the Head Master Richard McDonald and histeam for pursuing the development of this Sports Centre which hasbeen built within the contractual period.When I was a student at Aiglon, the school only had outdoor sportsfacilities which of course limited the sports and the time that couldbe spent in sporting activities. The only covered sports facilitythat we could avail ourselves of was the Villars skating rink, the‘Patinoire’ which was used by the citizens and visitors of Villars. Theadvantage of frequent visits to this public sporting facility resultedin nurturing acquaintances and friendship with the people of Villarsas well as students from neighbouring schools, which shouldcontinue. I hope that we will fi nd activities and means of inviting thecitizens of Villars and the area to share this beautiful new facility. Isee here today many local friends, including former Aiglon GovernorMr Jacques Luisier, amongst us whom I have known from mystudent days in Villars.Richard McDonald, Sue Stevenson (P’08,’13) Governor,Tony Jhangiani-Jashanmal, Governor, Olga Shakhnovskaya (P’11,’13)and Mark Elliott (P’88,’ 90) Chair of the BoardEgon Vorfeld (’85) Governor, Tony Jhangiani-Jashanmal, Governor, RichardMcDonald and Jonathan Fackelmayer (’95), Vice-President, Friends of AiglonCollege Europe displaying Roger Federer’s shirtOne person who intended to be here is missing.
