Alec Bannister and CamHenderson Combat Holiday Hunger in Southwark The London alone, 400,000 children currently face food insecurity and in Southwark, increasing numbers of children are eligible for free school meals.

Sir Peter Riddell CBE (59-66) was knighted in the 2022 New Year Honours list for his services to journalism and foir public service. As a journalist he worked on both the Financial Times and Times newspapers before leaving to work in public service. It was a career that in 2016 resulted in his appointment as the new Commissioner for Public Appointments, a position he held until 2021.

The Alleynian Sailing Society (ASS) competed in the Arrow Trophy J80 Regatta at the Royal Thames Yacht Club in April. At the helm was Mark Richmond (95-00) with Matt Gorvett (06-13), WilliamHolmes (12- 19), Ben Taffs (09-16), Harry Tinker (02- 11) and Tommaso Quaglia (15-20) making up the rest of the crew. After a hearty supply of bacon sandwiches supplied by the land crew, the team had a full day of racing competing in seven races, with four of those wins. The main Arrow Trophy Regatta took place 2nd and 3rd October with a new format. The fleet was split into two, twelve schools racing on the Sunsail First 41’s and fourteen on the Fairview Oceanis 37’s. In essence, it was really a Division 1 and 2 fleet, based on previous years’ racing results and longevity of participation. There was no promotion or relegation this year as it was the first time the fleets have not been a single class. The weekend’s weather seriously curtailed the racing on both days. On Saturday only two races were concluded due to wind speeds increasing considerably to in excess of 30 knots and on Sunday one much longer race was completed. Some of the ol’salts thought that the programme should have been postponed due to the conditions but actually getting a regatta on the water at all and holding the dinner was a major achievement for the Arrow Trophy Committee, given the ongoing uncertainties of the last 18 months. Dulwich managed to finish the weekend 8th overall which considering a number of crew changes, blooding in two new mates, Will Holmes and Tommaso Quaglia, a couple of rigging breakages and sailing a new untried boat was all in all quite an achievement.
