"I Iook back with very fond memories at my time in Woolverstone. I taught Biology (and some Chemistry) for 5 years at WHS, which was my first teaching post. I joined at the same time as Richard Woollett and we became good friends. I was very sad to read about the death of Martin Gillott last year - one of my star pupils! I was also Assistant Housemaster of Berners working with Peter Sadler. I remember showing Saturday night films in the Hall and stopping boys smoking behind the curtains! I also ran AV in the days where we had to record BBC schools programmes for use in lessons. I seem to remember being Careers Master for one year while someone was on secondment. I am a keen bridge player and some sixth-formers asked me to teach them how to play bridge properly. We eventually won the East Anglian Schools Championships and went on to play a final at Eton. I myself became a bridge Grand Master and played in several World Championships. I left WHS to become a computer programmer with BT in Ipswich. I had a successful career in technology and still work as a freelance technology transformation director. I also breed racehorses in the UK, France and Australia - lots of winners but no Derby triumph yet!!

Best wishes to all my former pupils and colleagues - AND everyone else!"
