The Secretary of the Alleyn Club, Chris Field (51-59), has announced his intention to retire on 31 December 2015. The Club Committee invites applications from any Old Alleynian interested in succeeding him. The Secretary is the sole paid executive officer of the Club, responsible for its operation and smooth running. He is greatly assisted by the staff in the Alleyn Club & Development Office at the College, where he has a desk with full computer access. Familiarity with electronic communication systems is essential and the ability to work from home, as and when required, would be an advantage. The Secretary receives an annual honorarium and is reimbursed for out-of- pocket expenses.
A full job description and application form can be found on the College website at www.dulwich.org.uk/alleynclubsecretary. Applications Applicants should complete the application form, giving the names of two referees, and send it to alleynclub @ dulwich.org.uk no later than Friday 29 May 2015 . It is hoped that an appointment will be made before Founder’s Day (Saturday 27 June) and that the successful candidate will be available to work alongside the Secretary during the Michaelmas Term in preparation for the AGM and Annual Dinner on Friday 30 October and the College Remembrance Ceremony and Past Presidents’ Lunch on Wednesday 11 November.

Turning to the schedule of investments, he highlighted the most satisfactory year-end valuation of £1,013,787, that a very pleasing annual rate of return of 4.9% gross (4.4% net) had been achieved, and that the trustees had been well advised to divest the Club of its sizeable holding in Tesco early in the new year.
