Athletics Supper - 28 June 2014
During a 75-77 reunion in September last year, Robert
Hanna and Chris Wilkinson hit upon the idea of holding an
athletics supper, honouring all the hard work that Graham
and Patricia Hall have put in to developing athletics at
King's. After many an email exchange the event took place
on Saturday 28 June.
24 guests attended the supper, drinks were served on the
Meynell lawn (yes the sun was shining at that point in the
day despite the earlier downpours) and a group photograph was taken which was framed and sent to Graham and
Patricia as a memento of the evening.
Nick Alexander spoke about his recollection of Graham and
Patricia and how very lucky he was to have known them.
He mentioned a particular moment of kindness Patricia had
shown him by "always going the extra mile."
he guests toasted the couple and then walked back into
school to enjoy supper in the Antony Hewish room, chatting
the evening away and reminiscing about their time at King's.
he haven at 48 South Road was an escape
from the rigours of day to day school life.
here was always a welcome, mugs of tea or
coffee provided and old jazz music on
LPs listened to.
Anyone privileged enough to be part
of the Athletics Club in those days
will appreciate the professional way in
which Graham organized the team. His
management of the team was exemplary.
