I would first like to put on the record my appreciation of all the hard work that my two predecessors, John Lovering (61-68)and Simon Dyson (59-67), have done in consulting a large number of Old Alleynians regarding their views as to the purpose and constitution of the Alleyn Club. An immense amount of thought and preparation has gone into providing a new set of proposals for the future of the Alleyn Club, including a potential change of the Club’s name to the Old Alleynian Association and the creation of the role of Chair who will provide continuity of administration over an initial three year period, whilst the President will continue to serve for just one year following a year as Vice-President. We hope to have these proposals ready for a Special General Meeting in the late Spring of 2022. Additionally, I hope that I will be able to meet as many Alleynians as possible, both here in the UK and abroad as we hopefully move towards an end of the pandemic.

I made a number of lifelong friends here whom I still see regularly. The College for most of my time was still benefiting from the sponsorship and free places of the ‘Dulwich Experiment’ and did not start to change towards being more fee-paying until the mid 1970s. I specialised in German and Economics for the entrance exam to Oxford and I have always been particularly grateful to Jim Whitehead, the Head of German, and Simon Dawkins, the Head of Economics for their inspired teaching and encouragement, especially in my final term. Stephen Howard, then Head of the Middle School, took us for ‘O’ level Latin and was a most charming and charismatic teacher. He was also extremely helpful when we were stuck on the Times crossword, as invariably happened!

What did you do after leaving the College?

After studying PPE at Oxford I spent the vast majority of my working life in the City of London, firstly as a stockbroker and latterly as an investment manager. I retired from full time work a few years ago but kept an interest in the financial world going as a non-executive director of a global equity fund until last year. I took a year off full time work to be a Sloan Fellow at the London Business School in 1998/99, where I was reintroduced to the joy of three-hour written exams after nearly 20 years!
You were at the College between 1969 and 1976. What brought you here?

I was a beneficiary of the so-called ‘Dulwich Experiment’ and was fortunate enough to be awarded a free place to come to the College by the London Borough of Sutton. They paid my travelling expenses too, which as a day boy involved a 20 minute train ride and a walk from Tulse Hill station along the South Circular. How I envied my classmates who commuted to and from West Dulwich!

The OAEF will celebrate its 90th anniversary next year. Over that time it has helped many Old Alleynians with loans to assist them in taking advanced degrees in the academic, medical and artistic fields. I have over my 10 years, firstly as Treasurer and now as Secretary, had the privilege of meeting a number of very talented OAs who have been looking to advance their careers in what is undoubtedly a more challenging employment market than was my experience in the early 1980s. The OAEF offers the facility of an interest free loan with no specific pay back period. Each beneficiary is liked up with one of the OAEF trustees who are able to keep in touch and offer friendly help and advice until and, in many cases beyond, the time when the loan is repaid. Our resources are relatively modest and any additional financial support is naturally most welcome!
I was on the Modern side here and specialised in Modern Languages, French and German together with Economics. Up to the fifth form it was also compulsory to take one science subject. I managed to pass my Physics ‘O’ level quite comfortably but, finding the paper again recently and looking at the questions I apparently answered, that certainly would not be the case today! I enjoyed playing cricket throughout my time at the College and was fortunate enough to be in the 1st XI in 1975 and 1976; two of the best and warmest summers in recent memory. I never, alas, paid enough attention to Gerry Thornton’s wise words that ‘you can’t score runs in the pavilion’.
