We are saddened to share the news of the deaths of the following OAs since our last publication
In 2021 we were informed of the passing of two much respected former members of staff.
Reverend TomFarrell Former Staff (74-81) Making of an Olympian Tom Farrell was the College Chaplain from 1974 through to 1981. In his engagingly written and fully illustrated book, Tom traces his extraordinary journey as an amateur athlete in the pre-professional age, from schoolboy long jumper and quarter miler to representing Great Britain at two Olympic games. Making of an Olympian features a foreword by Executive Chairman of the British Athletics Federation, Peter Radford, who said the book “captures the spirit of athletics in the middle years of the 20th century wonderfully.” Tom’s fifth novel is widely thought to be his most ambitious, following Mark Phocan, the chief engineer at a motion-capture company, as he works on the big-budget sci-fi film Incarnation . The Making of Incarnation is about far more than just the making of Incarnation though. Tom explores the making of contemporary reality and the technologies that help shape the modern world through an intricately woven web of characters and subplots.

When a major outbreak of flu devastates the Abermorfa Police, acting Detective Inspector Owen Jones is burdened with responsibilities. Owen hopes that he will see his post be made permanent by showing his ability to manage these new responsibilities alongside his regular detective work. What may enhance Owen’s chances would be the quick solution of the bizarre death in the docks of a well-known Ship’s Chandler. Taran found a passion for reading at a very early age and his love for stories developed into a desire to create his own, writing his first book at nine years old. At twenty- two, while taking time off to travel, Taran began to write bestselling epic fantasy The Summoner Trilogy. The Champion is final book in The Contender Trilogy in which a group of teenagers find themselves transported to a realm populated with lost remnants from the past before being forced to become contenders in a brutal game controlled by mysterious overlords. Taran Matharu (04-09) The Champion TomChivers (96-01) London Clay: Journeys in the Deep City Tom’s non-fiction debut is a lyrical interrogation of a capital city, in which he follows hidden pathways, uncovers geological mysteries and explores urban edgelands: in-between spaces where the natural world and the metropolis collide. From Roman ruins to an abandoned Tube station, Tom leads us on a journey into the depths of the city through a combination of historical research, vivid reportage and personal memoir.

Robin Tudge (84-92) Mr Whippy Goes to Schaumberg
It’s the mid-90s and Jim, a naïve, film- obsessed student, spends a sweltering summer selling ice-cream in Chicago with Elly. He finds the Land of the Free is not all it’s cracked up to be, but Jim grows through adversity, while tempering his infatuation for Elly. Will a man break out of the boy, win the girl, and escape with a bound? In Boundaries , Roger looks back with a gentle, often self-deprecating humour on his days as a cricketer and schoolmaster, having had the good fortune to grow up at a time when it was still possible to combine the two great callings of his life: playing cricket each summer and teaching during the winter terms. He examines in detail some of the key issues that Marylebone Cricket Club faced during his time as Secretary then Chief Executive and concludes by reflecting on his Christian faith and reproducing some of the witty dinner graces for which he is famous. Roger Knight OBE (57-66) Boundaries Rory Cellan-Jones (67-76) Always On: Hope and Fear in the Social Smartphone Era Always On takes readers on an entertaining ride through a turbulent era which has seen both the invention of the smartphone and the catatonic rise of social media. As the BBC’s chief technology correspondent, reporting on the biggest developments and news stories in the field, Rory Cellan-Jones has a ringside seat to the key moments of the technological revolution.
Hanna ‘Abbie’ Simmonds-Abbott 1934 to 2021 We are sad to share the news that on 24 June 2021, Hanna ‘Abbie’ Simmonds-Abbott passed away at the age of 87 from natural causes at her home on Kube Yini farm near Bayala in South Africa. Abbie worked in the Sanitorium of the College from 1986-1993, and again in 1996. Abbie was instrumental in establishing the ‘San’ of a small creche for staff children, which over time outgrew the San building and morphed into DUCKS, the College’s hugely successful kindergarten and infants’ school.
