2016 has been a busy year for the Old King’s Club and its many constituent parts. Major social events like the Duel Dinner at the Savile Club, drinks at the Oriental Club and of course the Annual Dinner at the school have drawn together the keen supporters of the club’s various sporting activities and – even more pleasingly - members of all ages who have not connected with the King’s community since leaving school.

It is good to see King’s College School’s shield gracing the stairwell of the East India, Devonshire, Sports and Public Schools’ Club at long last (see cover and page 14).

Work is nearly complete on transforming the Club into a company limited by guarantee to achieve a more modern structure and limit our exposure to risk. We are most grateful to David Tilles (OK 1971 & Vice-President) and Travers Smith LLP for their pro bono work.

14 SEPTEMBER 2016

DRINKS Members of the Old King’s Club were invited to drinks at the historic Oriental Club. OKs of all ages came out in force.


19 NOVEMBER 2016

2016 ANNUAL DINNERThe Annual Dinner was held in the Great Hall at the School and was well attended by OKs from 1946 to 2016. The Head Master proposed the toast to the Old King’s Club, Margaret Hunnibal was the guest speak-er and our President Micky King proposed the toast to King’s College School.

A f ine meal was prepared by Chris Hull’s team and music was played by the John Burnett-Hall jazz ensemble. Many thanks to Heidi Lissamore and the Dinner Committee for their hard work and to the School for their sponsorship. The f loral table centrepieces were donated to Arthur House, a residential care home in Wimbledon, with whom the King’s College School Lodge is developing a supporting role.


Moiz Ali (OK 2015) pointed out that King’s College School’s shield was missing from the impressive array in the stairwell of the East India, Devonshire, Sports and Public Schools’ Club. Hon. Treasurer Richard Criddle (OK 1986, front cover & above) quickly arranged for a shield to be commissioned.


10 JULY 2016

SINGAPORE DINNEROn Friday 10 June 2016, a dinner was held for Old Boys currently resid-ing in Singapore. The event was attended by seven OKs and there was a range of leavers from 1990 to 2005. The evening provided a great opportunity to reminisce about the good old days in SW19. It is hoped that events such as this can be held more often in the future.

21 JUNE 2016

CAREERS EVENINGVolunteers from the Old King’s Club, chosen by pupils of the Lower 6th Form, gave two half-hour seminars to small groups. This was preceded by drinks, supper and a chance to get together with fellow members of the Club. The next Careers Evening will be held on June 20, 2017.

26 JUNE 2016

SPORTS DAYThe f irst annual Old King’s Club Sports Day, the successor to Commem-oration Day, was held at the School to coincide with the annual OKC v. School cricket match. OKs enjoyed a fun and action-packed afternoon, which featured 5-a-side football, fencing, family swimming, a picnic and tea at the cricket pavilion.

The Old King’s Club beat the School’s 1st XI by 4 runs in a terrif ic Twen-ty20 Cricket match. Barney Oates (OK 2012) was 30 not out 2 for 16, Alex Hughes (OK 2016) 19 not out & 1 for 11, Jake Hennessey (KCS 1st XI) 64. The f inal score was OKC 160 for 5 against KCS’s 156 for 9.

The second annual Sports Day will be held on 25 June 2017, when even more activities will be added to the programme.oldkingsclub.org.uk/sportsday


FOOTBALLThe Old King’s Football Club has continued its remarkable success story with a strong star t to the 2016/2017 season.

On the pitch, the 1st XI has enjoyed a solid star t to the season with victories over Old Etonians (4- 0), Old Harrovians (2- 0) and Old Brent-woodians (3- 2), balancing out narrow defeats to Old Carthusians (1- 3) and Old Forresters (1- 2), traditionally the league’s two strongest sides. With players returning from injury and two cup runs about to begin in the AFA Senior Cup and the historic Arthur Dunn Cup, the early signs bode well for the Club’s flagship team and its new captain, Alex Angel (OK 2010), who has taken over the reins this year from Nick Perry (OK 2003).

Following their championship- winning season in 2015/16, the 2nd XI have embarked on their first ever term in Division 2 of the Arthurian League - the highest possible level for a 2nd XI within the Arthurian League structure. Even at this early stage of the season, the side have certainly seen some tough tests but learned from harsh defeats to West-minster and Lancing to secure a brave 4- 3 win over Haileybury (where we came from 2 goals down) and a draw that could so easily have been a win against Eton. With this momentum, the Club’s second side are optimistic of pushing for a top- half finish in the division.

After last year’s introduction in the cup competitions, the newly formed 3rd XI have made their league debut in Division 5 South. Under the stewardship of Jack Smith (OK 2005) and Felix Parrack (OK 2010), there have been some positive early signs with a strong win away to Old Harrovians 3rd XI and an excellent draw against Old Amplefordians 1st XI. With a raft of new, young players there is a fantastic sense of opti-mism surrounding the 3rd XI and their maiden journey in the ArthurianLeague.

Off the pitch, the club continues to benefit from the fantastic support shown by the Old King’s Club. The 1st XI are playing in a brand new kit featuring the Old King’s Club logo. Membership has increased once again with record attendance at Monday night training (nearly 30 OK’s attending) and with 3 teams up and running we are regularly seeing over


40 OK boys out playing football together on a Saturday. We hope to also launch our veterans’ team this season in the over 35’s cup competition, and have a healthy array of social events to look forward to!

You can keep up to speed with the Club and all 3 teams through our Facebook group, on Twitter, or on our website.

CRICKETThe third annual Old King’s Club cricket day organised for former staff and King’s cricketers of the 1960s took place at Lord’s on 27 June. 36 attendees enjoyed the facilities of two adjoining boxes for the second day of the Middlesex versus Lancashire championship match. The cricket seemed to be of less importance than the opportunity to renew old acquaintances and to reminisce. As previously the occasion was superbly organised by David Holland. A similar event for next June 2017, possibly at the Oval, was discussed.

EDWARD CL ARKE

HOCKEYThe OK side faced the school team in the annual hockey match. Mem-bers of the Old King’s Club Poppy Hawkes, Sally Clifford, Clem Pol-lard and Olivia Jones (OK 2016) were all present. They were joined by Victoria Williams and Hannah Blackman-Mack (OK 2015) as well Anna Westcott, vice captain of school (OK 2014). The Old King’s Club side played well but were defeated 3-0. We have been for tunate that Margaret Hunnibal has donated a cup for the Old King’s Club vs School annual hockey match.

RIFLE CLUBThe Rif le Club has continued to grow in membership, organically by members introducing guests who then migrate on to full membership and by aler ting OKs to our presence on the OKC website.

2016 has had another packed f ixtures list with the Public Schools Veter-ans (PSV) Ashburton match after the Schools event in July. The Schools events are heavily dominated by Epsom and Wellington Colleges; we would be pleased to encourage and assist the School to venture back into the competition after such a long break from mainstream shooting competitions.

Aside from the main Target and Gallery rif le competitions club members are star ting to venture out into the mainstream Imperial meeting along with historic service and modern rif le competitions. The recent Historic Service Rif le competition was held at Bisley on Oct 1 and three of our members took part and acquitted themselves well.

We are always pleased to hear from both OKs, their families and others who may wish to come along to a guest day. Full details at: www.oldkingsclub.org.uk

RUGBYThe 2015-16 Season was extremely busy with competitive Rugby played at all levels from Senior 1XV, U21s and down to U15s.

The 1XV are playing in London SW2 division and star ted the season in f ine style with a 27-21 win against London Cornish, followed by back to back victories over Basingstoke and Old Reigatian. The team f inished the season in 6th place with 53 points, one place below their previous campaign and 6 points adrift of their tally twelve months ago. The 2016-17 season has star ted in f ine style with 4 wins out of 5.

The 2XV competed in the top Surrey reserve league for the 4th season in succession and f inished in 8th position although still with a positive points difference of +15. A strong star t to the 2016-17 campaign has resulted in the Club f ielding a 3rd XV for the f irst time in over 10 years!

King’s U21’s were the winners of the Surrey Shield beating Old Cater-hamians at home 36-21. The U17 side is a collaboration with Rosslyn Park and are the National U17 Bowl Winners, beating Durham RFC in the Final. The U15A side are Champions of Surrey U15 Division 1 and were unbeaten through the season.


As I write this report I have recently heard of the death of Roy Dawson who as a member of the Rugby Club over many years def ined the meaning of the word stalwart. He was a dedicated former Captain and President and will be missed by all who knew him.

ROWINGOn 11th November, 1884 BC competed at the Fullers Head of the River Fours. A coxless 4 containing both current students and recent gradu-ates boated from Putney in cold and drizzly conditions. With a young and fresh crew of current King’s boys star ting just behind, the pressure was on from the star t. There was little to choose between the crews un-til Barnes Bridge, at which point the schoolboys began to make inroads. They just nosed in front approaching Chiswock eyot, but 1884 moved back in front with a sustained effort along the island. Unfortunately, the f itter and better drilled schoolboys retook the lead before Hammer-smith Bridge and continued to move away through challenging condi-tions on the f inal stretch. The tussle with the schoolboys was thoroughly enjoyable, despite Alex Duncomb (OK 2013) losing bragging rights to his brother who is currently in the Lower Sixth! 1884 eventually f inished 218th out of 418 star ters, moving up 81 places from 2014, the last time a crew was entered.

Ollie Hines (2013) competed in the U23 Men’s Pair at the World Rowing Championships in Rotterdam over the summer.

It is also noteworthy that Patrick Duggan, the current KCS Director of Rowing, coached the GB Junior Men’s Eight that won a bronze medal.

We look forward to resuming our rivalry with the schoolboys at the annual Festive Races on Sunday 11th December, where we will be de-fending the Reed-Boswell Cup. Please do get in contact if you would like to take part.

GOLF2016 was another very good year for the Golf Society. The year star ted with the Triangular Match against Kingston Grammar School and Raynes Park OB’s in April at Wimbledon Park GC. With only seven players against the f ifteen KGS players we were hard pressed to win and were beaten into second place. The individual scores were very close with the best stableford score being 32 points by Roy Haslehurst of KGS, who won the Martin f ielding cup. Both Lance Condon and I managed a very respectable 31 points closely followed by Neil Lovett with 29. The Spring Meeting was played at Malden GC in May. The Bill Cox Cup for the best Stableford score was won by David Cross with 38 points closely followed by Ian Hay and I with 35 points. The blades Scratch Cup was won by Michael Wale with 25 points and Michael Choong was the runner up with 23.

Five friendly matches were played over the summer: we won 4-1 over Old Paulines, 4-0 over Old Whitgiftians, 3-1 over Old Cranleighans and drew 2.5-2.5 against Old Tiff inians, and won 4-1 over Kingston Gram-mar School Old Boys.

Some of the team – Graham Cox is on the left, holding the two cups which he unfortunately had to pass on to the KGS winners.

The Old King’s won 2-1 over Trent on the 2nd round but lost against Birkenhead on the 3rd round.

The middle Trent College pair had a two-up lead but held on, with pars at the RWNGC 16th and 17th, managing to defeat Elliot and Andrew 2&1. The other two OK pairs gave their opponents a good thrashing, by 7&5. Alex and Peter won six consecutive holes, playing par golf from the par-5 7th hole to the 12th fairway, where their match was conceded, with the opponents lost in deep rough. This gave us a solid 2-1 victory, and a last-16 match against Birkenhead.

Against Birkenhead Peter and Alex were beaten, 4&3, despite birdieing the 15th hole. An OK birdie squared the match, but a tremendous Elliot tee shot to 12 feet at the 190-yard 16th only gained a half. At the 18th hole Andrew put it inside Birkenhead’s second shot, but we did not hole our vital birdie putt; Birkenhead putted up, and then holed the tricky downhill 3-footer for victory.

Birkenhead won the f inal and the Grafton Morrish trophy, beating Up-pingham (who were 2012 winners).

DEATHS & OBITUARIES

DR PETER BALDRY (OK 1938) died, aged 95. He noted that he was so old that he had star ted practising medicine before penicillin. As a houseman in Southampton he dealt with a large number of wartime military casu-alties. He was commissioned into the Royal Army Medical Corps. Peter was posted to be a doctor in a tuberculosis isolation unit which led to him becoming Research Secretary to the British Tuberculosis Associa-tion.At the age of 32, he was appointed a consultant physician at Ashford Hospital in Middlesex with responsibility for chest and heart, and gen-eral medicine. Peter was active in trying to explain the strong causal link between smoking and lung cancer. For many years, his wife, Oina, had been suffering from ill health and persistent pain and as a consequence he became very interested in how to manage pain without recoursing to long term use of drugs. Upon retirement he star ted practising acupunc-ture and over a 15-year period he authored 4 textbooks on the subject. He gave his last public lecture on the subject at the grand age of 94 at the University of Birmingham.


ROY DAWSON (OK 1947) died aged 87. He was vice-pres-ident of the Old King’s Club and Captain (1955- 1957) and President (1977- 1979) of the Old Boys Rugby Club. After National Service and attending the Ecole Hotel-iere in Lausanne, his entire career was within the travel industry, including BOAC and firms such as Inghams where he was their Sales Manager for a number of years before retirement.

ROBERT SAMUEL HORNUNG (OK 1950) died on 5 April 2014. He obtained a degree in physiology at London University before deciding to study medicine. After completing house jobs in London he took a research post at Northwick Park Hospital. He was appointed as the second con-sultant cardiologist at the Aintree Cardiac Centre in 1990. He made a major contribution to the development and provision of the full range of cardiac services at the Centre, also undertaking invasive diagnostic cardiac catheterisation at the Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital, and established permanent pacing at Aintree.

PETER METHLEY (OK 1955) escaped London with his parents during the Blitz and got as far as West Horsley before nightfall. This is where they settled and where they lived when Peter star ted at King’s in 1951. He went on to enjoy a successful career in insurance as CEO of Lloyd’s broking f irms Leslie & God-win and CE Heath, and owner of HJ Symons. Peter was buried at East Horsley Church, the funeral being attended by many OKs including members of KCS Lodge.

BARRY MYERS (OK 1956) died, aged 79, directed many of the most mem-orable television advertisements of the 1970s and 1980s, among them the Olympus ad starring George Cole and David Bailey and the Cad-bury’s Flake advert that showed a gypsy girl munching sensuously on the crumbly chocolate bar while strolling through a f ield of sunf lowers. His other productions included a string ofnostalgic Hovis ads; the lavish

“People’s Army” Smirnoff Black campaign and the commercial launching


British Airways Club World. Describing himself as “a f ilm-maker who makes commercials”, Myers would vary the style and tone of his f ilms, ranging from broad comedy to solemn portentousness, but they were distinguished by razor-sharp editing and a strong narrative. For his tel-evision work he won accolades from bodies around the world including the British Television Advertising Awards, the American Clios and the Cannes Lions. Lean and wiry and with a combustible temper, Myers had a fearsome reputation for perfectionism, but he was popular in the industry, an entertaining lunch companion, and generous in his encour-agement of younger directors.

DAVID SHAPLEY (OK 1956), after leaving the Army, joined his father at The Fruit Trades Journal and embarked on a career that saw him become one of the central characters in the British fruit and vegetable industry for more than 50 years. He spent almost 30 of those years at the FTJ rising from junior journalist to managing editor of the company’s titles. David travelled the world in the interest of informing the British horticultural industry and he was for many years the voice of the British trade. He was a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Fruiterers and his work was fur ther recognised by national government in both Spain and France with prestigious awards. Later on David became a freelance consultant journalist representing several high profile clients.

DR DAVID SIDE (OK 1946) was a former GP and president of the Basingstoke Lions. He died on February 4th. Dr Side was a prominent and popular f igure who practiced at New Street Surgery in Basingstoke - which later moved to Bramley’s Grange. David worked tirelessly in Basingstoke as one of the town’s on-call doctors and also worked at the Shrubbery

Barry Myers in Jamaica for a Milk Tray campaign


Maternity Home until his retirement in 1987. He played a major role in identifying the need for def ibrillators in Basingstoke ambulances and he was instrumental in fund raising projects for St Michael’s Hospice, Naomi House and Dove House School. In retirement David remained active, he continued his work with the Lions, joined Deane Probus and also completed an Open University course in humanities. He was with the Basingstoke Lions for 48 years and was rewarded for his services with the Melvin Jones Fellowship Award. In 1991, David was a founding member of the Probus club of Deane. David was also a governor for a number of schools in the town including Cranbourne Business and Enterprise College and Maple Ridge Primary School.

PROFESSOR BRIAN SPALDING (OK 1941) was Professor of Heat Transfer and Head of the Computational Fluid Dynamics Unit at Imperial College, London. In late 1970s and early 1980s, D Brian Spalding was the Reilly Professor of Combustion Engineering at Purdue University. He was one of the founders of the development of computational f luid dynamics. In 1983, he became a Fellow of the Royal Society.

DR JOSEPH WARREN (OK 1950) After leaving Kings he went straight into the army to do his National Service. He obtained a commission and became a Captain in the Royal Artillery. He went to St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School followed by two years as a houseman. On qualifying he spent a year in General Practice and then feeling the need to see the world, worked as a medical off icer for a mining company in Sierra Leone followed by five and a half years as a Ship’s Surgeon with Union Castle Line. Deciding to become an Anaesthetist he star ted training at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town. Returning to England he became a Reg-istrar at Charing Cross Hospital and a Fellow of the Faculty of Anaes-thetics (FFARCS). He was appointed a Consultant Anaesthetist with the Windsor Group of Hospitals in 1973 and was instrumental in setting up the Intensive Care Unit and Epidural service, and served on the District Medical Team.
