Described by Second Master, Gary Griffin, as ‘an end of an era, especially for the music department’, this summer saw the retirement from teaching of Martyn Clements after serving 42 years at CLS, the last eight as an instrumental teacher.

Speaking at his retirement dinner on 24 June, Gary said: “I think it is fair to say that he has been one of our most colourful, gregarious - and certainly one of the loudest - of colleagues over this long period.

OC Fives - the path-finders

by John Reynolds

The picture shown right has been unearthed showing three Old Citizens who blazed the trail to the top of the game for other Citizens to follow in the following two decades.

Current JCC president, Cliff Hampton (1954-64) (left) and Stuart Courtney (1958-68) (right) were the first Old Citizens to win the national amateur championship, for the Kinnaird Cup (in 1969 and 1970). Cliff was also the first Citizen to win the Public Schools Championship, with his then partner PA Hall, in 1963.

Paul Hawkes (1960-69), pictured centre, won the Public Schools Championship in 1969. The three are pictured at St Olave’s School, at its old site near Tower Bridge, before the school moved to Orpington.

An old friend of the club, Massimo Melessaccio (1976-84), who now lives in Hamburg, was in town over the summer, and revisited the game he played at Blackfriars in the 1970s. He gave Spencer Chapman (1977-84, in orange) and John Reynolds ( 1972-79, in black) a runaround on the new public courts at the Westway Sports Centre in west London.

The new season is just beginning as The Gazette goes to press.
