Unofficial Christ's Hospital Forum

By the way, after a second look I see one photo was allegedly taken on 3 May, the rest on 3 Mar - what is the betting that this too is a typo? I am sure that "May" is a typo. 1953 was the 400th anniversary year and if I remember correctly the actual month of the celebrations was June, so ...

Mary,
Your latest posting has a quote from my e-mail and nothing else. Is this some subtle comment or did something get left off?

Katherine, Sorry about the mistake with the Girl Guides camp - I missed the word "Horsham." That said, it comes as a complete surprise to me that GGs were camping in the CH Horsham grounds, as I was there at that time, and never heard of it. Presumably, it took place during the school holi...

If you go to: http://editorial.gettyimages.com/MS_GINS/source/home/home.aspx?pg=1 and type "Christ's Hospital" into the search box you will find 21 pics of which six are of CH Hertford. The "Domestic Science" class pupils look very, very serious! Why is the girl being "blank...

the 12 month contract is not enticing unless it has RENEWABLE to nice candidate! The reason for the 12 month contract is simpler than you think. The Council of Almoners has only funded the CHA up to mid-2007. so they cannot advertise for a post for longer than that because they money just isn't the...

I couldn't find any description other than Art School so how did you recognise it? I was doing some picture research on the Corbis site for my latest book and just out of interest typed "Christ's Hospital" into their search engine. As englishangel says, there are about twelve Housie pics ...

I have stumbled across a picture of the CH Hertford Art School ca 1953. Unfortunately, I am not sufficiently computer literate to be able to transfer it to the CHForum, but those who want to see it: Go to website corbis.com In search box type HU016787 (note that third digit is a zero NOT a letter &q...

I received yet another of those stupid email chainletters this morning........Well - now you know what I think of them - do you have a different view??? Julian, I totally agree. I also think that they can cause a lot of misery among the more gullible members of society, who can take the threatened ...

Can anyone explain why CH do seem to be so reluctant to take-up offers from Old Blues to come and speak, or input with the kids, giving advice about uni's, careers etc.etc? This seems to be a recurring theme..... As a matter of interest, I wrote to the school about 6-8 weeks ago, pointing out that ...

Julian,
I think the forum clock has failed to move ahead one hour!!!!

and how about "all-change"?

If you haven't already done so, if you look at the BLib catlaogue entry below, you should be able to find the title http://catalogue.bl.uk/F/3U1KJAH7825RD4EAK7BC87JCKKYAGYAVUJFYU3UKTKSIFV19IF-02204?func=short-action&submit_action=&jump_text=&jump=&action_short_previous.x=60&actio...

I have seen mention somewhere of a wartime "bunker" on Sharpenhurst and will find it for you. Meanwhile can you tell me/us more about Subterranea Britannica - does it have a website?

Also, we still have CHA Advisory Board chairman, who is as anxious as anyone to ensure that we do not blow what has been a fairly reasonable start. This afternoon it was announced that JG has resigned - so what you had to say was overtaken by events - and pretty quickly, too! As a matter of interes...

I think communication has been in something of a hiatus(?sp) over the past few weeks.........and, what's more, I've no idea if there's an official extension or what. In the absence of both a chairman and a manager, who is there to make any decisions, anyway? Surely, everything is in suspense until ...
