To initiate the project, the HLF issued the first phase of their support with a development grant and stage one pass in February 2017 and this phase has seen the appointment of a number of experts and consultants. One such collaboration is with architects Simpson and Brown, in association with Rogerson Ltd, who were appointed to provide a design for Monks’ Bridge. The restoration of the historic footbridge will incorporate a new staircase and provide access from the south side of the road. Discussions with Design and Technology tutors Brendan Anglim and Jonathan Hart highlighted an opportunity to involve Year 12 Design and Technology students in designing iron gates for the entrance to the new staircase to the bridge. Kevin Kaley (HLF Project Manager) and John Sanders (partner at Simpson and Brown Architects) briefed the class on the historical context* of the Grade II structure and encouraged them to think about the functional requirements of a gate and the design influences they might capture from the buildings or landscape around them. *The Historic England list entry Students Harry Parnis England (C), Sophie Hatschek (M), Ellie Perry (M), description reads: Lydia Hopkins (A), Marie-Sophie Matyk (A), Guillermo Albert (J), Seth Higgins (C) and Gonzalo Gangoiti (C), were given an opportunity to climb on to the ‘Footbridge. c1854, restored c1930. bridge as part of the briefing process.

We were astounded by the level of interest in the paintings and are delighted, and most grateful, to have raised over £48,000 towards the work of the Ampleforth Abbey Trust. The 26 masterpieces were displayed in Big Passage during the Ampleforth Society weekend in September; oils and pastels were resplendent under ambient lighting and the evening was immersed in a buzz of appreciative chatter. Conversations during the exhibition followed similar themes; the same themes that continued throughout subsequent weeks of the sale that not only acknowledged the versatility of Fr Martin’s artistic talent but most of all, memories of Fr Martin himself - his residency in , his dedication to the Lourdes pilgrimage and of course, nostalgia for his days as Housemaster of St ’s from 1963 to 1981. The Community are delighted that each and every painting has been rehomed with members of our extended Ampleforth family, each with their own personal sentiment for Fr Martin and devotion to Ampleforth Abbey. The release of Fr Martin’s artwork generated an unprecedented amount of interest, with the final hours of the sale in particular being extremely busy! For those of you who missed an opportunity to purchase original artwork, you may be heartened to know that another selection of paintings will be launched for sale in August this year, concluding on highest offers again in October. If you wish to register an early interest in the sale, please contact Ellie Wadsworth on +44 (0)1439 741088 or at [email protected]. Please don’t be dissuaded by thoughts of competing offers; the value and popularity may vary for each piece, so every offer is worth submitting. As there are fewer paintings available then perhaps would be in demand, we are pleased to offer another opportunity Paintings by to own samples of Fr Martin’s artwork. Prints and postcards featuring some of the 2017 images will be available to purchase from the Abbey Shop in the summer and FR MARTIN HAIGH OSB we hope this gives everyone the chance to cherish a piece of Fr Martin’s creativity.

The event was a relaxed evening with an informal atmosphere to encourage students to ask questions and this was followed by a networking gathering over supper in which students held one to one conversations and discussions about the respective careers, qualifications needed and ways in which to go about getting work experience. The consistent message that came from the evening was: “Don’t worry if you don’t know what you would like to do now - people change careers a lot in the 21st century. Instead, concentrate on trying things, working hard and treating every opportunity as an experience to the next step.”

26 | SPRING 2018 | AMPLEFORTH DIARY AMPLEFORTH DIARY | SPRING 2018 | 27 When the organisation for the first Old Amplefordian Sports Weekend started to take place, I did not think that I would be running around in a skort and a ski jacket in March! Although three days before we were torn between cancelling the weekend due to the return of the ‘Beast from the East’ and going ahead despite the dreadful weather forecast, we decided to press ahead after coming up with a few different possibilities in case of bad weather.

On the Friday night and Saturday morning, OAs began to descend on the Valley for a day full of sport. The afternoon kicked off with the OAFC taking on the College team and the OA Ladies taking on the College 1st team netballers. The OARFC followed on shortly after with a tough game against the College boys followed by a full game against the Barbarians team they had put together.

At 1.45pm the runners lined up on the start line for the cross-country race along the Senior A course. By the end of the route the OAs came out victorious against the College. The afternoon of sport was finished off with the girls’ and boys’ hockey with both OA teams the winners. Everyone then headed to The Windmill to warm up and watch the final of the Six Nations.

It was wonderful to see so many OAs back in the Valley taking part in sport and spectating. To quote one OA and current parent “it really was a wonderful demonstration of the sense of community that the school teaches the kids and that we OAs feel towards the Valley.”

We now hope that the OA Sports Philippa Jalland (M13) weekend will become a regular occurrence in the Ampleforth Society calendar and hope that more teams are keen to get involved after the success of the first one. Fingers crossed for better weather next time! SPORTS WEEKEND…
