The Runner up was Tom Bean.<br /> <br /> The School team to play OHGS was chosen from the championship and the match OHGS v The School took place also at Sene Valley Golf Club on April 25th. <br /> <br /> OHGS did have a pretty strong team and The School suffered from the loss last year of their star players Duncan Pike (1 handicap) and Luke Jennings ( 4 handicap) who are now at University.<br /> <br /> OHGS had a convincing win 5 - 1 <br /> OHGS (Captain) Dick Young and John Denham won 5 &amp; 1<br /> Bob Chappell (Captain of Sene Valley) &amp; Dave Green won 3 &amp; 2<br /> John Young and Tim Wren won 2 &amp; 1<br /> Geoff Cooke and Peter Thomas (both ex Harvey teachers) won2 &amp; 1<br /> Nick Hopkin and Simon Readman won 2 &amp; 1<br /> Greg Cowling and Gary Cochran were the only pair not to win.<br /> <br /> <a href='http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/uploads/2008SchoolGolfChampion.JPG'><img width='110' height='83' border='0' hspace='5' src='http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/uploads/2008SchoolGolfChampion.serendipityThumb.JPG' alt='' /></a><br /> Winner of the 2008 School Championship Tom Hay receiving the trophy from John Dennis Chairman of Governors http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/archives/51-Bill-Green.html It is with much sadness that I have to advise you all of the death on 25th January of William Green (Bill to everyone) . <br /> <br /> Bill was one of the first members of the OHGS but gave up playing a few years ago. He played his golf at Sene Valley and then moved up to Etchinghill when it opened as it was in those days considered an easier option than Sene (that was before the top 9 holes were added). <br /> <br /> I understand that the funeral will be at Barham Crematorium on 11th February but at this stage I do not know the time. <br /> <br /> If any of you knew Bill it would be good to see him off with a good representation from OHGS and I hope to see some of you then. http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/archives/50-John-Burrough-Collection.html More Gleanings from the <a href="http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/archives/44-The-John-Burrough-Collection.html" >Burrough Collection</a>.<br /> <br /> For archive purposes, and for natural curiosity, we would like to identify these young men:<br /> <br /> <div align="center"><br /> <br /> <a href='http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/uploads/images/JohnBorroughCollection/image0015.jpg' onclick="F1 = window.open('/uploads/images/JohnBorroughCollection/image0015.jpg','Zoom','height=704,width=511,top=255.5,left=712,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resize=1,resizable=1,scrollbars=yes'); return false;"><img width='400' border='0' hspace='5' src='http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/uploads/images/JohnBorroughCollection/image0015.jpg' alt='' /></a><br /> <br /> Who will admit to this?<br /> <br /> </div> http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/archives/49-The-John-Burrough-Collection.html More Gleanings from the <a href="http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/archives/44-The-John-Burrough-Collection.html" >Burrough Collection</a>.<br /> <br /> For archive purposes, and for natural curiosity, we would like to identify these young men:<br /> <br /> <div align="center"><br /> <br /> <a href='http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/uploads/images/JohnBorroughCollection/image0013.jpg' onclick="F1 = window.open('/uploads/images/JohnBorroughCollection/image0013.jpg','Zoom','height=807,width=1113,top=204,left=411,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resize=1,resizable=1,scrollbars=yes'); return false;"><img width='400' border='0' hspace='5' src='http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/uploads/images/JohnBorroughCollection/image0013.jpg' alt='' /></a><br /> <br /> Who are these two swimmers?<br /> <br /> </div> http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/archives/48-The-John-Burrough-Collection.html More Gleanings from the <a href="http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/archives/44-The-John-Burrough-Collection.html" >Burrough Collection</a>.<br /> <br /> For archive purposes, and for natural curiosity, we would like to identify these young men:<br /> <div align="center"><br /> <br /> <a href='http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/uploads/images/JohnBorroughCollection/image0017.jpg' onclick="F1 = window.open('/uploads/images/JohnBorroughCollection/image0017.jpg','Zoom','height=652,width=875,top=281.5,left=530,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resize=1,resizable=1,scrollbars=yes'); return false;"><img width='400' border='0' hspace='5' src='http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/uploads/images/JohnBorroughCollection/image0017.jpg' alt='' /></a><br /> <br /> Who are these going round the bend?<br /> <br /> </div> http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/archives/47-The-John-Burrough-Collection.html More Gleanings from the <a href="http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/archives/44-The-John-Burrough-Collection.html" >Burrough Collection</a>.<br /> <br /> For archive purposes, and for natural curiosity, we would like to identify these young men:<br /> <br /> <div align="center"><br /> <br /> <a href='http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/uploads/images/JohnBorroughCollection/image0019.jpg' onclick="F1 = window.open('/uploads/images/JohnBorroughCollection/image0019.jpg','Zoom','height=711,width=592,top=252,left=671.5,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resize=1,resizable=1,scrollbars=yes'); return false;"><img width='400' border='0' hspace='5' src='http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/uploads/images/JohnBorroughCollection/image0019.jpg' alt='' /></a><br /> <br /> Who are they, and why do they look so pleased with themselves?<br /> <br /> </div> http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/archives/46-More-Gleanings-from-the-Burrough-Collection.html More Gleanings from the <a href="http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/archives/44-The-John-Burrough-Collection.html" >Burrough Collection</a>.<br /> <br /> For archive purposes, and for natural curiosity, we would like to identify these young men:<br /> <br /> <div align="center"><br /> <br /> <a href='http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/uploads/images/JohnBorroughCollection/image001.jpg' onclick="F1 = window.open('/uploads/images/JohnBorroughCollection/image001.jpg','Zoom','height=1105,width=809,top=55,left=563,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resize=1,resizable=1,scrollbars=yes'); return false;"><img width='450' border='0' hspace='5' src='http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/uploads/images/JohnBorroughCollection/image001.jpg' alt='' /></a><br /> <br /> Who is this cheery youth?

He studiously avoided all promotion and concentrated his efforts on his class-room and he was a beacon of common sense in the staff-room. <br /> <br />Few knew of his heroism in the war which led to his being awarded the DFC. The boys called him “Bunnie” and he was regarded with universal affection and respect. He was also, as his photographs show, a brilliant photographer.<br /> <br />We will be publishing a range of his pictures in the coming weeks which form part of the School Archive and we need your help in identifying and dating some of the faces, as well as information about their life post-school. Click the comments link below each post to leave feedback or information about the photo's. http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/archives/31-The-OHA-Annual-Dinner-2007.html Saturday 1st December - 7.00 pm for 7.30 pm at the School<br /> (The School will be open from 6.15 pm)<br /> <br /> Join your friends, contemporaries and other Old Harveians at this year’s Dinner. You will be able to enjoy the splendid facilities now on offer: Harvey’s Diner (our new restaurant) and additional hall, built onto the side of the existing Main Hall. <br /> <br /> There’ll be plenty of room for more Old Harveians to dine in comfort, with ample space to circulate and socialise before and after the meal. The Dinner will again be in the comfortable and convivial atmosphere of the Main Hall and there will be a well-stocked bar with a good selection of wines to complement your meal.<br /> <br /> We are anticipating another really good turn-out, so be sure of a place by ordering your ticket(s) right away.<br /> <br /> <em>Home-made Mushroom Soup with French Bread<br /> <br /> Roast Kentish Turkey with Stuffing<br /> Roast Potatoes, Garden Peas, Carrots and Cauliflower Cheese<br /> <br /> Christmas Pudding &amp; Fresh Cream<br /> <br /> Selection of Old Harveians Cheese &amp; Biscuits<br /> <br /> Coffee and Mints</em><br /> <br /> Tickets £17.50 - <a href="http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/uploads/images/events/ohadinner2007.pdf" title="ohadinner2007.pdf" target="_blank">Download the booking form here</a>.<br /> <br /> A vegetarian alternative is available if ordered in advance – simply indicate your preference on the order form http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/archives/29-2007-AGM.html The AGM and Committee meeting will be on Monday 23rd April at 5pm in the Trafalgar room at the school.<br /> <br /> Any members wishing to attend should contact <a href="mailto:pjharding@harveygs.kent.sch.uk" title="E-mail Phil Harding">Phil Harding</a>.<br /> <br /> http://www.oldharveians.org.uk/archives/28-OHA-Outing-2007-Royal-Residences-4th-August-2006.html The Diamond Wedding of The Queen and Prince Philip is to be celebrated with a special exhibition at Buckingham Palace which will include her wedding dress and the dresses of the bridesmaids and the wedding jewellery and presents itself as a perfect subject for our outing this year. <br /> <br /> Tours of the State Rooms of Buckingham Palace and Clarence House have been booked for Saturday 4th August.<br /> <br /> Starting at the Royal Mews at 10am, we'll visit the Queens Gallery, which this year is featuring The Royal collection of Italian paintings. <br /> <br /> This will be followed by a 45 minute tour of Clarence House, before returning to Buckingham Palace for a tour of The State rooms including the Diamond Wedding exhibition.<br /> <br /> The tour concludes by exiting at the rear of Buckingham Palace with a walk round the side of the gardens and out through the bottom wall. <br /> <br /> It is only about a 2 / 300 yard walk to Victoria so very convenient for a meal at the same Italian restaurant that we went to last year, ll Posto Ristorante Italiano in Vauxhal Bridge Road .<br /> <br /> The coach will pick us up from the restaurant at around 6.15 for the return journey home.<br /> <br /> The day will cost £47.50 for the whole package , or £40 if people wish to leave out Clarence House. It easily works out that if you prefer to take longer over say a picnic lunch in St James Park, you can rejoin the rest of the group on their return from Clarence House.<br /> <br /> The meal will be optional as well but it is a good opportunity to eat together and for the number involved they do cater very well and the food will be good Italian fare.<br /> <br /> If you are interested in coming along, please contact <a href="mailto:john.e.oliver@ntlworld.com" >John Oliver</a>.
