Unity the key for City's New High Sheriff

We congratulate Michael Bothamley (ET '74) on his appointment as High Sheriff of Bristol.

The Bristol Posts reports:

It is one of the oldest offices in the country and the holder is the Queen's chosen representative in the city.

Although the job of High Sheriff no longer comes with the responsibility it once did, Michael is determined to make as big an impact as he can.

He was formally sworn in yesterday at a ceremony at Bristol Crown Court, which was attended by Lord Lieutenant Mary Prior and the Lord Mayor, Faruk Choudhury.

He said: "For me, a vital focus of the High Sheriff's role is the place where young people and the law and order agenda meet. That is where there is a marvellous cross-over between the High Sheriff's responsibility to encourage the voluntary sector, and its support by business, and his duty to uphold the principal organs of the constitution.

"As a past president of Business West, a member of the Society of Merchant Venturers and someone who has been involved with a wide range of charities, I have made great connections in all those areas. I'm now relishing the chance to bring those connections together with the new people I'm going to meet and the projects I'm going to

learn about, to help maximise collaboration and leverage.

"My predecessor, Shaheen Chaudhry, has done that tremendously well, bringing people together and raising and using the funds of the High Sheriff's charity to support local youth projects, and I hope to carry on where she leaves off."

Mr Bothamley works for DAC Beachcroft, an international law firm. In recent years he has been president of Business West, the Anchor Society and the Canynges Society, chairman of governors at Colston's Girls' School, a member of the South West regional council of the Prince's Trust, and a trustee of the Tobacco Factory, Bristol Zoo and Clifton Rugby Club.

AEJ Collins – not all records are made to be broken.

John Folds sent in a page from the Times of India from November 2013. A 14 year-old cricket star Prithvi Shaw scored 546, reported as a new world record. Prithvi, it reports, went 'past the previous highest score in school cricket (498)'. In the end he was out caught and bowled after scoring 85 4's and 5 6's in 6 hours, batting over two days and facing 330 balls.

Well, I'm pleased to report that A.E.J.Collins scored more than that, as all OCs will remember. His 628 not out remains the highest score ever recorded.

John Inverdale interviewed Bob Acheson about Collins for a radio programme that was broadcast on Radio Bristol on Monday, 3 March 2014.

James Partridge (SH '70)

James Partridge spoke at Clifton on 29th January, reported in the Bristol Post; 'Meet James Partridge, the man fighting for facial equality':

BEFORE James Partridge sits down he glances out of the library window surveying, for a moment, the magnificent grounds of Clifton College.

The fine mist of drizzle swirling on the cricket pitch below does nothing to dampen his spirits ahead of a talk at his old school where he aims to challenge, once again, perceptions about physical appearance and – most importantly – facial disfigurement.

Just over 44 years ago to the day, life for the former pupil was turned upside down in a tragic car accident which left him permanently scarred. Read more of the Bristol Post article

Miles Buckinghamshire (OH ’63) in Boomerang Cup

Our very talented Groundsman

Our very talented groundsman, Badger, has just finished sculpting this wonderful Rhino. The wood came from the trunk of a tree from the front of Wisemans House. The copper beech was dying and unsafe and was felled by Josh Brown (SH ’94) of Bristol Tree Care, who looks after most of the trees on the College campus.

Thursday 27th February 2014: Christopher Jefferies, Ethics and the Media

Christopher Jefferies was the key speaker at the latest in the series of OCBC events, held at PWC's UK Head office in London. This was a well-researched and equally well delivered presentation regarding the Ethics of the Media. Presented with an abundance of fact and opinion provided by him and a number of quoted sources familiar with the subject, Christopher drew, for

example, on the thoughts of the Fleet Street editor, the late Lord Cudlipp who, he said, was "inspired by a mission" to enlarge the knowledge, freedom and welfare of ordinary people, but carried out with fun as well as earnestness, with dramatic – even sensational – impact, as well as common sense. We were told that Cudlipp thought a good paper should be an "Open University" that must also destroy taboos and foment controversy. Christopher also said that the key role of the media was to "make the important interesting". This said, he observed the significant single ownership of a large part of the UK's media empire and the financial motivation to sensationalise stories for financial gain in an overtly competitive marketplace.

He detailed his own particular experiences of his wrongful arrest for the murder of Joanna Yates and expressed his sadness for her death and thoughts for her family and relatives. Observations were made of the arrest, significant inaccuracies in the press coverage thereafter and the breadth and variety of opinions given through the witness statements provided during the Leveson Inquiry.

He went on to note that one quoted purpose of the media was to "hold authority to account" but concluded that the industry itself was reluctant to be held to account by others.

The talk was followed by a series of questions asked and observations provided by the assembly and then concluded by Mark Eldridge, the OC Society's recently elected Chairman, who thanked Christopher for his presentation.

OC Business Community – The Penn Club, New York 12March 2014

An eventful OC Society get together took place at a private to room at the Penn Club in New York City, arranged and hosted by the newly appointed Secretary of the US OC branch, Graeme McEvoy (SH 1986). Opening proceedings with a few welcoming words, Graeme highlighted that it had been some time since there had been a formal event of this nature but encouraged those attending that there would be more to look forward to and in various formats.

Graeme handed over to James Isaacs (OH 1985 & SH 1986) who introduced the concept of the OC Business Community to the 15 male and female OCs who braved the chilly, wet weather to come together. Asked how to communicate with and through the OCBC, James encouraged people to refer to the OC online website (www.oc- online.co.uk and go to the OC Society drop down and then choose the Business Community option) or link together via the Linkedin community page. It was also suggested by one of the party that the benefits of attending a US university should be highlighted more effectively to undergraduates considering their options.

Polackians were the most represented OCs followed by School House but it was also good to see three members that had enjoyed Clifton as exchange students from the US, Pauline Roteta (HH 2008) and Jonathan Teplitz (PH 1981) as well as Mexico with Beni Lopez (OH 1984).

Banking and financial services appeared to be the most dominant career across the group with representation from Credit Suisse, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley and BlackRock. Also represented was the accountancy firm Ernst & Young as well as the professionals in teaching, sales of technology and the civil service.

A further event was discussed may be a more informal OC Society evening to be held

Oxford Dinner, Pembroke College - 14 May 2014

Congratulations to Chris Weale and congratulations to Pembroke College! It was a fabulous May evening and the Cotswold stone of Chapel Quad was at its best – the perfect image of Oxford with a game of croquet nearing its conclusion, already well grown canna lilies and climbing roses in flower (in the second week of May, for goodness sake). Drinks on the upper gallery of The Hall with its astonishing hammerbeam roof preceded dinner in The Forte Room, beautifully prepared with College silver on display.

Exactly 30 OCs and guests attended from Oxford, the University and from the county and enjoyed a really convivial evening – one of those that just had that intangible ingredient that made it ‘click’. Chris, who had arranged the whole thing in just one afternoon under emergency circumstances, controlled affairs from the splendid latin College grace at the start through to an entertaining speech welcoming us all and speaking up for the on-going Clifton community. The Head Master developed that theme, bringing everyone up to date with affairs back in Bristol and the evening was rounded off by Simon Reece from the OC Society.

The College Bar was at the bottom of the stairs and naturally the evening drifted on for many …

The following attended:

Tom Anstey (SH ’83), Jeremy Avery (ET ’62), Francis Buist (OH ’13), Robin Carr (DH ’64), Bruce Crichton (SH ’59), Phillipa Davis (WT ’12), David and Melissa Day (WiH ’69), Toby Dirnhuber (WaH ’13), Nino Freuler (WaH ’13), Fiona Hallworth (Director of Heritage), Matthew Kendry (ST ’95), Aaron Lau (WiH ’07), Iain Mallon (Director of Marketing), Katie McInally (HH ’12), John Milne (HM Pre), Mark Moore (HM), Harry Morgan (ST ’12), Tom Oliver (WaH ’12), Edward Phelps (WaH ’84), John and Ana Phelps (WaH ’81), Jeremy Pickles (Director of Development), Simon Reece (Secretary OC Society), Stephen Richards (ET ’59), Dan Robson (Director of Music), Alex Tebay (Deputy Head), Cheryl Trafford (Hon OC), Chris Weale (ET ’12), Jonny Whitaker (ET ’12).

OC Reunion – Saturday, 10th May 2014

Our annual reunion was for those who were at Clifton either side of the Centenary, those born between 1945 and 1955 and there was a vast turnout for the second year running. We are very grateful to the School for rearranging the morning to enable a full Chapel Service to be held before lunch and most had made arrangements to be at it to hear the splendid choir, rousing hymns and fine sermon from Chaplain Kim Taplin.

Dr Charles Knighton had prepared a display of photographs of the era from the Archives in the East Cloister and this received much attention – some changed beyond recognition and some looking as if they had only just left. How things vary! Prising everyone from drinks to an informal lunch in Big School was a bit of a task and then on we went into the afternoon. All the Houses were open for visiting, as was the Science School, splendidly refurbished throughout since this generation’s last Reunion – nonetheless one OC was moved to ask which bit had actually been refurbished! Others were attracted to the Music School and were universally amazed at the facilities that maybe some with everyday exposure take a little for granted. It was great to get Joe Cox behind a drum kit again and David Thirlwall reunited with a guitar, not that he is ever far distant from one.

The Library was open and many had not seen Mark Webber’s modernisation of this great room – and I dare say some had never quite known where it was at all. And still others found their way to Beggar’s Bush, aspiring to be a ‘Queen’s Club’ with facilities again unrecognisable to those who remembered the old assault course in the woods, sunbathing in Sunny Corner and the swallows that nested in each little wooden hut beside every cricket pitch roughly hewn out of the meadow grass.

On the Close it was the turn of the 2nd XI to coincide with the Reunion date and we were treated to a strong victory over Taunton early enough to change for dinner. Big School did us proud, as ever and we are very grateful to the excellent service provided by Warren Ingham- Barrow and his team. Between courses Julia Hwang, accompanied by James Drinkwater, played 3 pieces exquisitely – Brahms’ Hungarian Dance number 2, Tara’s Theme from Gone with the Wind and Gershwin’s It ain’t necessarily so. This was her last appearance before becoming an OC herself, but I do hope that it isn’t the last time she plays for OCs!

Mark Moore gave a lively resume of the School as it now is, day/boarder, boy/girl, UK/overseas – a fascinating mix of cultures, themes and taking great strength from its diversity. Tom Foulkes replied for the OCs, thanking the School for organising such a good day. Simon Reece thanked all those who had attended, 11 from overseas, the furthest David Thirlwall from California, Robin Nederkoorn from Bali and the winner, Dudley Bennett from Sydney. School House almost filled 4 tables and won the most attenders – but then this was their era of winning wasn’t it?

Devon and Cornwall Branch 6 May 2014

Chris Parrish had the brilliant idea of meeting at Devon and Exeter racecourse for the spring evening meeting on 6th May. Great fun and what a shame more didn’t join us. The photo shows 4 rather bemused punters gazing wistfully at the photographer (OC Secretary’s wife) who steadily amassed wealth at their expense via the clutches of Billy No Mates, the Bookie.

Poland Dinner – Friday, 28th March 2014

Marcin Szala (photo) organised an excellent dinner on 28 March to coincide with Mark Moore, Head Master being in Warsaw to interview candidates for the Polish Scholarship. Piotr Holysz was there from the US along with 4 others from the area. This is one of the most enthusiastic of Branches and a further donation to the Polish Fund that is being grown in the Clifton College Endowment Fund was made. Well done and thank you to all involved.

Cambridge Dinner – Friday, 28th February 2014

Katie King, secretary of the Cambridge Branch, organised an excellent dinner in her College, Gonville and Caius, on 28 February. It was a small group, but then that does allow everyone to speak to one another, and there was a good mix of undergraduates and support from Cambridge and Cambridgeshire. Katie welcomed everyone and Mark Moore gave a resumé of how things were at Clifton and some ideas of future development. A thoroughly pleasant evening and we look forward to Katie hosting us again next year.

The Bristol Branch AGM

The Bristol Branch AGM was held at the Pavilion, Clifton on 29th January 2014 in rather eccentric circumstances as the lights had fused and we were left more or less in the dark. Bruce Lloyd (NT '84) stood down as Secretary after a huge amount of work over 3 years to get events successfully supported. He was replaced by retiring Chairman Andrew Niven (WaH '85) who joins James Rose (NT '83), elected for a second term. Justin Ogilvie (ET '87) was elected as Chairman for the year.

Ontario Branch

Over the last few years, Philip Jones (BH ’57) has reinvigorated the Ontario and Eastern Canada OCs, indeed he reinvigorated so extensively that I think all Canadian OCs were affected – certainly their inboxes will have been red-hot with the flow of communication. Philip has been heroic in his efforts and now hands over the Branch Secretary’s job to Johnny Jones (OH ’60).

As well as barbecues and other parties, regular activity has homed in on the Duke of York, Yorkville, Toronto, the most recent being on 29th April. It attracted 12 OCs, but that’s about half the numbers in the catchment which is an astonishing strike rate and a testimony to the power of Philip’s emails!

Philip has been really fantastic and we thank him enormously for his enthusiasm, energy and the effectiveness of the results!

The Edinburgh University Press has recently published Muslim Spain Reconsidered by Richard Hitchcock (DH ’59). Their synopsis reads:

Introduces a unique and successful society, and its powerful legacy in forming modern Spain

What made Muslim Spain a unique and successful society? By adopting a multidisciplinary approach within a chronological framework, Richard Hitchcock explores the nature of Muslim Spain's powerful legacy in the formation of modern Spain, whilst constantly keeping in view the shifting social patterns caused by the changing balance between town and country, constant military

activity and concerns about their environment.

You will learn about the main historical developments in al-Andalus, such as the eventual establishment of Islam, the splendour of the Caliphate, the disintegration of central authority, the invasions from North Africa and the ongoing struggle to retain independence when confronted with the increasingly powerful Kingdoms of Aragon and Castile. You will also find wide-ranging discussions of inter-faith relations and the intellectual currents created by Spain's unique synthesis of pluralism and external influences.

Richard spent his academic career at Exeter, from 1966 until his retirement as Professor of Hispano-Arabic Studies in 2003. He is a loyal supporter of the Devon and Cornwall OC Branch.

However did this Argentinian Club from Pergamino, Buenos Aires end up being called the Club Atlético Douglas Haig? We all know how addicted football fans can be so someone might know the answer. All very topical in this centenary year!

Keeping in Touch at www.oc-online.co.uk

We encourage you to register on the OC Website if you haven’t already done so at www.oc-online.co.uk. Many OCs are taking advantage of the ability to access their contemporaries via the site and to keep in touch with the OC activities. You can also promote your business through the Old Cliftonian Business Network. Developing this area of activity is still very much work in progress but we are delighted to see that a number of OCs have now offered to come back to the School to help with career development and mentoring opportuntities for our pupils.
