The Head Master & Development Director are on board and the book will be simply offered to the Blues of 2021 as was the CH Book in 1953.

Re: The Story of Old Blues in North America - BCOB Book Project
This topic has developed into the story of the widening home location of Blues on admission to CH and then the story of the diaspora of Old Blues worldwide.

I'm very optim...

Re: The Story of Old Blues in North America - BCOB Book Project

Re: The Story of Old Blues in North America - BCOB Book Project
Dear Brian
Many thanks. Jim Bell was a close friend of David Godfrey (now also sadly deceased) and they worked together with also their Housemaster Martin Barker (still active in Coventry) on CH/USA links and we need to progress their work via FCH. Ideas?
All Best
David

Re: CH, Assisted Boarders and the TES
Martha Sharp implied that under the new HM/CEO Simon Reid that a refocus on the original mission and ethos of CH seemed afoot - which should be encouraging in the context of reducing the FFP% to<10% by 2027.
