Welcome to the unofficial Christ's Hospital Forum - for discussing everything CH/Old Blue related. All pupils, parents, families, staff, Old Blues and anyone else related to CH are welcome to browse the boards, register and contribute.
I'm just wondering whereabouts I could get hold of (i.e. buy) a CH rugby shirt, the sort that is currently in use. I have my very old-skool (literally, I guess) one from the 80s/early 90s that I still use for training today but it would be fun to have a current one if it has a crest or something like that on it.
Cheers
Tim
P.S. it may come as a surprise to some that I am playing rugby. Well, I have been playing again for a few years now, for Finchley RFC and enjoying it a lot

If Sean can supply a shirt to individuals, I wonder if he could supply to the CHA in order to sell from the CHA website? We could have a long lead-time, to avoid holding stock???
I'd be interested in one...and could be a revenue generator for the school.
I've also always fancied a standard CH shirt for lounging around the house in - never managed to source one though....

Totally agree - I think they're missing a very big trick - or income stream - given that we didn't own our uniforms, the number of school badges, rugby shirts etc that old blues from both locations would have bought over the years would be immense - along with the christmas cards - is that really the best view of Hertford that could be conjured? Took me about 10minutes to work out where it was supposed to be at the old site!!

Re CH Rugby Shirts --- I would certainly buy one !
I'll add it to my collection -- which includes South Afica, Ireland and 2 Inf. Division. (I had better admit that I didn't PLAYfor S. Africa, only lived there for 5 years and played there, until I was 40.) --- had to stop -- couldn't recover from the knocks -- Whatever happened to Wintergreen Oil ?
Re. Christmas Cards - if you have a suitable image for next year, do send it to Michelle at the CHA (manager@chassociation.org) - I'm not sure what the source is for photos/drawings etc, but if you know of one which could be used, that'd be great.
Unfortunately the CHA can only use what it has, or can source - this is the same for The Old Blue. So if you have content, it's always gratefully received...

Rugby shirts and all CH uniform can be bought from the nominated school supplier. However, I'm not sure if the shop is for parents use only. I can't really see why OBs could not purchase from them but would appreciate confirmation from a moderator before causing any problem by putting the web-site up.
The rugby shirts are reversible, but plain. I think you can buy CH badges if you are handy with a needle.
The House rugby shirts do have a logo of a lion, but again not a CH crest.
Sorry if this sounds wimpy! But I'd rather be reassured that it's ok.

Just looked on the Broadbridges site (official suppliers to CH) to discover that they do not do a Barnes B rugby shirt and all the others are
Lamb A Rugby Shirt
Lamb B Rugby Shirt
Maine Rugby Shirt
Middleton Rugby Shirt
Peele Rugby Shirt
What about the rest and why have Lamb got 2 shirts whilst the others are a joint effort?
They also do fooball hose, which must be a new game, something like hearty ball I suppose.
You can buy on the internet so I can's see that there would be a problem.
Barnes do have hockey shirts - have they changed? As for football hose, if you have the pleasure to visit this quaint menswear emporium you'll understand. Proper service with a 'thank you madam'
Don't know why Lamb have two, I do know that the Lamb B one is very fetching with gold and red banded shoulders, or should I refer to a rugby shirt as 'fetching'?!
So guys, you can happily walk around in your shirts reviving pleasant old memories (hopefully)
I have only just returned to this Topic ----
I am very interested in buying a CH Blazer Badge, --- I was denied one, during the War (For obvoius reasons), when I was awarded School Shooting Colours, it should have been with crossed rifles --very fetching !
I also, never got my Prize, awarded for what is now RE. We were given pieces of paper, for redemption "After the War "
------ I imagine it is slightly too late to remind the School now ! !
However, a new badge for my Blazer (Sans Rifles !) would be nice.
