  • A Tribute to the Life of Jack Grayburn. Preface
    A Tribute to The Life of Jack Grayburn. Preface. To be President of our great rugby club is an honour and a privilege, especially so when one considers the many illustrious members in our 90 odd years of history. We live now in very different times. The first members of Chiltern RFC will have experienced, some at first hand the almost unbearably tragic events of the World War 1. As the club grew in the 1930s the shadow of war once again fell over Europe and men such as Jack Grayburn knew what could befall them should another conflict unfold. It is difficult for us now to comprehend the sacrifices that war dictates, the destruction of families, communities, a way of life. But those Chiltern rugby players in the late 1930s must have known what might be expected of them, and must have trusted that they would rise to the challenge, and must have known that some of them would not return. Our honours board at the club has 22 names on it, a club with perhaps 60 playing members in 1939. This ratio speaks for itself, a number that is shocking and humbling; and however many times this refrain is repeated it is no less true: they died so that we might have a future, a future to enjoy the manifold benefits of a good life in a free society. And surely each one of those Chiltern players who went to war and did not return would rejoice that our club continues and is in fine shape, upholding the same values, embodying all that is best in sport and comradeship.

  • John H. Grayburn VC a Tribute on the 70Th Anniversary of the Battle of Arnhem from Chiltern Rugby FC
    ARNHEM 2-4 MAY 2014 John H. Grayburn VC (30 Jan 1918 - 20 Sep 1944) A Tribute on the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Arnhem from Chiltern Rugby FC ohn ‘ Jack ’ Hollington Grayburn was born on Manora Island, India, on J30 January 1918. However, the family soon returned to England and settled at Roughwood Farm, Chalfont St. Giles. Jack and both of his brothers were educated at Sherborne School in Dorset. Although bright, he was not academically inclined, preferring his chosen sports of rugby and boxing. From 1927, Jack played for Chiltern Rugby FC during the school holidays and continued to represent them when he left Sherborne School in 1936, playing his last First XV game on 17 April 1939. Shortly before WW2 began, Jack joined 1st (London) Cadet Force, Queen's Royal Regiment, but he was later transferred to Ox & Bucks Light Infantry. In 1942, he met and married Marcelle Chambers, a secretary at the Headquarters staff, with whom he had a son, John. Jack , once described as a “belligerent individual”, was frustrated by years of inaction on the home front and so in early 1943 he joined 2nd Battalion, 1st Parachute Brigade, commanding 2 Platoon, ‘A’ Company. Chiltern RFC 1st XV 1938-39: John H. Grayburn (standing far right) BATTLE OF ARNHEM The Battle of Arnhem was part of Operation Market Garden, an attempt by the Allies to secure a string of bridges across Netherlands. At Arnhem, the British 1st Airborne Division and Polish 1st Independent Parachute Brigade were tasked with securing bridges across the Lower Rhine, the final and furthest objectives of the operation.

  • The Works Brass Band – a Historical Directory of the Industrial and Corporate Patronage and Sponsorship of Brass Bands
    The works brass band – a historical directory of the industrial and corporate patronage and sponsorship of brass bands Gavin Holman, January 2020 Preston Corporation Tramways Band, c. 1910 From the earliest days of brass bands in the British Isles, they have been supported at various times and to differing extents by businesses and their owners. In some cases this support has been purely philanthropic, but there was usually a quid pro quo involved where the sponsor received benefits – e.g. advertising, income from band engagements, entertainment for business events, a “worthwhile” pastime for their employees, corporate public relations and brand awareness - who would have heard of John Foster’s Mills outside of the Bradford area if it wasn’t for the Black Dyke Band? One major sponsor and supporter of brass bands, particularly in the second half of the 19th century, was the British Army, through the Volunteer movement, with upwards of 500 bands being associated with the Volunteers at some time – a more accurate estimate of these numbers awaits some further analysis. However, I exclude these bands from this paper, to concentrate on the commercial bodies that supported brass bands. I am also excluding social, civic, religious, educational and political organisations’ sponsorship or support. In some cases it is difficult to determine whether a band, composed of workers from a particular company or industry was supported by the business or not. The “workmen’s band” was often a separate entity, supported by a local trade union or other organisation. For the purposes of this review I will be including them unless there is specific reference to a trade union or other social organisation.

  • 2999 Os Record New File
    THEOS Message From The President RECORD Tim Heald, my distinguished MMIV predecessor, wrote ‘the President of the OS Society exists in order to have lunch or dinner with other Old Boys.’ I have done my best to follow this advice. Thus there have been opportunities to listen to those who were at Sherborne before the War, those in the media, the property world and those who work in the City. I must confess that such occasions tend to fill me with trepidation, but any fears have been made needless by the sheer friendliness, not least from Michael Slade and John Peat, who organized their respective dinners with such style and generosity. In turn, the Society hosted a summer party for all former members of the Common Room and their wives that was much appreciated by a wonderful group of people. Digby ReunionDigby Most of you who come to any of the From The Headmaster OS gatherings will almost certainly hold the School in affection. However, I am I welcome this year’s new-look Record and, at the same time, I wish the also aware of those members of the best of luck to the ever expanding and increasingly vibrant Old Shirburnian Society who look back on their school Society. The School is happy to increase its support for all that the days in a different light. Growing up has Society does because it recognises the never been easy and some would have Iimportance of maintaining the closest found life much easier if they had been possible links with former pupils and born aged 21.
