The Guild was initiated in January 1899 by the then Principal, the Revd Edwin Hammonds, who invited current student leavers and former students to embrace the Bishop Otter College Guild. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a really big reunion this year to celebrate! To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the D-Day Landings in 1944 there is an article, written by Janet Carter, on the use of the college buildings by the military for the planning and carrying out of this momentous event. The biggest celebration this year is the 180th anniversary of the founding of the college (1839). See the Vice- Chancellor’s letter and also Marten’s letter for further information. It would be wonderful if a number of our members were able to come to this event, which is being held in May. Also, various years will be celebrating anniversaries of starting or leaving college. As you can see – a very celebratory year for everyone! Contributions for the Newsletter 2020 should be with me by Monday 20th January, please.

I am presenting things in a different way this year. Firstly I welcome, on your behalf, Professor Jane Longmore, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Chichester, who is now our new President. Rose and I first met Jane on 3rd May 2018. She explained, most carefully, about the problems many Universities were having and that the University is now unable to pay for the printing and the postage of our Guild Newsletter from now on. This is something that has happened in relatively recent years. Your Committee discussed this and agreed that for about the next three years the Guild could continue in its present form, but that there will have to be changes and this will be properly discussed this year at our main meeting on 31st August 2019 at 11.45 a.m. Various thoughts have been mentioned at the 2018 AGM. We do not really want to disappear in 2021! Since we met in 2018 the Otter Gallery, as you knew it, is no more. I know that many of you are upset and that some of you did object to its closure. Janet Carter, the Special Collections Manager, will be doing a tour of the paintings around the Bishop Otter Campus for us at our reunion weekend. She has arranged, also, for Julie Peachey (her ex-library colleague and ex-RAF re-enactment WAAF) to talk about what happened in room E124 (the D-Day room – the old Science lab) – this room was vitally important to the war effort. May 2019 is a special year for us – its significance is mentioned in Professor Longmore’s letter. I do hope that some of you can make this special occasion including the commemorative service in the chapel at the Bishop Otter Campus. The Data Protection Act (GDPR) is now in force – if you have any objections to receiving the Guild Newsletter you must let us know. We have assumed that as you have paid for it you would like to receive it. The reunion this year is the weekend of 30th and 31st August and 1st September. The programme is as follows: 1. The Friday evening meal has been a great success and it will be repeated this year on Friday 30th August at 7.00 p.m. You will need to book this with College on your booking form. There will, however, be a minimum number of 20 people required for this to take place but that number has been easily reached since it started in 2013. You will be informed by the middle of August if it is not taking place so you can make alternative arrangements. After dinner some people will meet in college around 8.30 p.m. in the old music room for a drink. Don’t forget your own drink and something to drink it out of if possible!! 2. On Saturday 31st August the timetable will be: 9.30 a.m. Business meeting, especially for year reps and interested members 10.30 a.m. Guild Service 11.15 a.m. Coffee break 11.45 a.m. General meeting and news 1.15 p.m. Lunch After lunch there will be a talk, at 2.30 p.m., by Julie Peachey – see Guild Secretary’s letter. 3. Sunday 1st September 9.30 a.m. Holy Communion taken by Revd Dr Alison Green. Marten Lougee STOP PRESS: Oklahoma is on at Chichester Festival Theatre until 7th September 6 | Guild Newsletter 2019 Notes for the Reunion Weekend 30th August to 1st September Please note that the booking form only covers accommodation for the Bishop Otter Guild Reunion weekend dates.

  • RAF Tangmere During Battle of Britain
    Wartime West Sussex 1939 – 1945 BATTLE OF BRITAIN RAF Tangmere during the Battle of Britain From Wartime Memories 1939-45, By the Residents of South Harting, East Harting, West Harting, and Nyewood (One Tree Books, 1995) RAF Tangmere in 1940, by Bill Smith The outbreak of war on September 3rd 1939 found me on solitary duty guarding a bomb dump in the middle of a field in Lincolnshire and that now historic air raid warning had just sounded! I had been a pre-war entrant in the halcyon days of the RAF, when only those of A1 fitness were accepted for flying training. The wearing of glasses was considered a bar to such duties. After initial training, I had been sent to Air Armament school at Manby to begin my course and in the interim was placed on general duties with the Territorial Army. By December 1939 I had qualified and was sent to 145 Fighter Squadron which was equipped with short nosed Blenheims. As the conduct of the war intensified, these aircraft were changed for the more heavily armed Hurricanes with four 303 Browning machine guns mounted on each wing. Thus equipped, we moved down to RAF Tangmere where the squadron was soon engaged in Hitler’s Blitzkreig giving combat over Selsey Bill. The station was over crowded and we were housed in bell tents erected between the barrack blocks. Each armourer was allocated his own aircraft, being responsible for the correct functioning of the machine guns. A close relationship between the pilot and the man responsible for the firing capabilities of the aircraft soon developed.

Beside the ‘very simple decent church’ is a large Yew tree, said to have been planted when the church was built and despite much natural decay and damage is held in place with steel chains and has a spread of more than 25 meters. The airfield was created as a base for the Royal Flying Corps in early 1917 and was later to become a base for American bomber planes. A full history is in the museum and worth a visit. Many of the roads in the village have names, which are named after RAF officers and men who were decorated with Victoria Cross medals in both WW1 and WW2.

  • 75Th ANNIVERSARY of the BATTLE of BRITAIN” TOUR Monday, 7Th – Monday, 21St September, 2015
    REVISED DATES …. plus 2 ADDITIONAL DAYS & NEW VISITS! “75th ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN” TOUR Monday, 7th – Monday, 21st September, 2015 “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few” was spoken by the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, referring to the ongoing efforts of the Royal Air Force pilots who were at the time fighting the Battle of Britain (BoB), the pivotal air battle with the German Luftwaffe with Britain expecting a German invasion. Churchill first spoke his famous words upon his exit from 11 Fighter Group’s underground operations control centre at RAF Uxbridge which he visited on 16th August during the battle (which we visit on Day 3). Pictured left are Spitfire pilots of No 610 Squadron, at RAF Biggin Hill during September 1940. This 15‐day tour concentrates solely on the Battle, visiting various airfields, sites, monuments ‐ and 2 airshows ‐ commemorating what was a huge turning point not only of Great Britain’s and Europe’s history but that of the whole world. Had the battle been lost the world as we know it could have turned out very differently. Spitfire Pilots of No 610 Sqn, RAF Biggin Hill, Sep 1940 This fabulous tour will include: Solent Sky Museum (R.J. Mitchell Hall of Fame, designer of the Spitfire) RAF Tangmere ‐ Military Aviation Museum RAF Hawkinge ‐ Kent Battle of Britain Museum Capel‐le‐Ferne – National Memorial To The Few RAF Biggin Hill (optional visit to the Kent Spitfire Restoration Company) RAF Biggin Hill – St George’s RAF Chapel of Remembrance RAF
