During the pandemic when my work in the entertainment and leisure industry dried up I have been volunteering for Water Search and Rescue team. We are currently running an a Aviva Community funding campaign to raise money to buy 10 more sets of safety kit to get more responders into action at a cost of £17420. As part of this we have various rewards and raffle prizes set up including 2009 England rugby shirts, an outdoor activity day, Crewsaver dry bags and a family ticket for the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam railway.
I appreciate that we are not in a coastal situation, but our operational areas cover canals, rivers, reservoirs and lakes, of which we have plenty!
If you are able to support us now it may mean that we can support you or a family member or friend during flooding, vehicles stuck in water, or Search and Rescue operations around water.

Looking through some old photos and found these. A celebration dinner for old boys in the armed forces in 1970
Dear Old Silhillians, as a former Silhillian (Windsor, 1992-1999), I thought I would share a poem I have written and a non-profit organisation I have founded dedicated to safe surgery across the world. I believe this video may highlight some of the issues the organisation hopes to tackle. Kindly, Saqib
Our team: Perseverbantia is LOVING the quiz. Not to mention special guest appearances.
Thanks to Harry Morgan and co for organising, what a great idea and hope everyone is doing well and staying safe!
definitely not cheating for round 2
Sad to report the death of Neil Megson aka Genesis P Orridge.After their father gained employment as the Midlands area manager of a cleaning and maintenance business, P-Orridge was sent to the privately run Solihull School in Warwickshire from 1964 through to 1968; a period they would refer to as "basically four years of being mentally and physically tortured", but also a time when they developed an interest in art, occultism and the avant-garde.[9] Unpopular with other students, P-Orridge was bullied at the school, finding comfort in the art department at lunch-time and in the evenings.[9] They befriended Ian "Spydeee" Evetts, Barry "Little Baz" Hermon and Paul Wolfson, three fellow students who shared their interest in art, literature and poetry.
Brigadier Harry Butler Hitchens Headmaster 1947-1963
In August 1963 HBH according to the School Official History and accounts at the time had 'a tragic death' - we learn no more. In fact he committed su***de and left a note to the Governors resigning.
All sorts of lurid tales circulated at the time and have surfaced since in explanation.
Can anyone there in 1963 please elucidate?
The Hockey Club are bringing a new programme to the club in September - think of it like a hockey version of All Star Cricket.
