Chris Williams - Woodard 1984
From the vintage class of '84 at Woodard House under
the stewardship of Graham and Patricia Hall, myself, Sarah
Williams, Jenny Henry, Jonathan Bell, Guy Drayton and
others whose names escape me but faces I can see as if it
was yesterday led the show. Fond memories (somehow you
forget the less fond memories), house rugby competitions
where the underdogs gained a place in the final against all
odds, drinking in the beer bar behind the great hall at the
age of 16 (Batten's project), smoking in the Convent fields,
prefects' dinner where a very talented 6th former from Hong
Kong played 60 mins of uninterrupted melody of all the
latest songs at the time (no-one knew he had never till that
night been allowed to touch a drop of alcohol and so we
made sure he had a large gulp or two from a bottle of Vodka
- he was in a complete trance). Ah so many memories.
Left KC in 84, Leeds Uni Zoology with 2.2 followed a year's
travel to "find myself", returned to the real world with a bump
and played with a career in beer sales at Watney Trumen,
London - a bit of an eye opener some of the establishments
in Peckham etc., Back to Uni for Msc in Shipping Finance
and then into Banking first in London, then Hong Kong and
Singapore. Along the way married to partner in crime Kate,
two ankle biters quickly followed and before I realised back In
Cardiff joining my brothers in the family business managing
a shipping equity fund we had helped set up with my last
bank. Fast track to today, Morgan now 18 finalised his last
A level next week, rowed for Wales last year and has a keen
interest to be a prep school teacher (Justin Chippendale and
Guy Drayton look out!). Grace, 12 is a box of crackers and
who really knows where that will lead. Trying to slow down
after a particularly busy past 10 years, passed over some of
the reins to others more youthful and fulfil the promises I
made to Kate now I turn 50 next year.
Life has flown by but certain chapters replay with fond
memories: Graham and Patricia Hall (what a wonderful
couple they were to us even if we did not fully appreciate
it at the time).
A few years back I had the good fortune to watch Morgan
play Junior Colts Rugby at Cheltenham College versus KCT -
coaches on either side was one Paddy McKegney (KCT) and
his youngest son (Cheltenham College). I can't remember
the result but that's not important at the end of the match
