Contents The President Dates for your diary From The Master
Welcome to the 113th issue of the Alleyn Club Yearbook. I am sure you will have noticed the striking front cover of a lion’s head. This extraordinary artwork was kindly donated by Henry Fraser (08 – 11). Forced to rebuild his life after breaking his spinal chord as a seventeen

Professional Networking Mentoring Programme
year old, Henry has gone from strength to strength creating an impressive CV built around public speaking, painting and now writing. His book ‘Little Big Things’ tells his remarkable story. We take a glimpse at his most memorable 2017. As many of you will already know, 2019 is the Quatercentenary of Edward Alleyn’s Foundation of his ‘College of Gods Gift’ at Dulwich. Details of events organised by the Alleyn Club are beginning to emerge and we hope to arrange a sports dinner, an OA evening, a Founder’s Ball and the usual Annual Dinner. Further details on page 38. The growth of our Professional Networking events has been a feature of 2017 and we take the opportunity to interview young OAs who have started up their own businesses. Daniel Catino (12-17), Giacomo Skeate (12-17) and Robert Power (12-17) have set up, and taken on, the running of a pizza restaurant in South London while Ndubisi Uchea (03-10) has established a media platform called Word on the Curb which uses video content to share stories with a millennial audience. Our sporting clubs have had another successful year. The golfers reached the second round of the Halford Hewitt Cup in April while in October our sailors won the Charterhouse Bowl at the Arrow Trophy weekend. The Association Football Club are flying high in the second division of the Arthurian League and we wish them well as they take on Charterhouse in the quarter final of the Arthur Dunn Cup. Our obituary section continues to be written with extraordinary care and attention to detail by Jim Bush and I could not end without thanking the Development Office for all the work they put in on behalf of Old Alleynians everywhere during the course of the year.
