Midlands / East Sections
East Midlands Old Blues
The East Midlands section of the CH Club stretches from Lincolnshire in the North through Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland to Northamptonshire in the South. Apart from the annual Founder’s Day Dinner about 4 other events are held each year, mostly at weekends. Events take the form of pub lunches and dinners, sometimes complemented by a country walk or a visit to an historical site. New members and guests are always welcome.
2008 Events for your Diaries
In order that you may have advance notice for your congested diaries, the programme of events for 2008 is shown below.
Garden Party Saturday 16 August at 12.30hrs
Garden party on a bring and share basis at the home of Wyn Parry (Th B 55-64) in Rothley – half way between Loughborough and Leicester. Details will follow nearer the time.
East Midland’s Section Founder’s Day Dinner Friday 24 October at 19.00hrs
The Founder’s Day Dinner will again be held at Quorn Grange, 3 miles south of Loughborough.
Our Chairman this year will be Christopher Laurence (Lamb A 39-47). After failing the scholarship exams at Cambridge Christopher entered Trinity Hall on the old boy network (his words!). He subsequently trained for ordination at Westcott House and was ordained in Lincoln Cathedral, the fourth generation to serve in the Lincoln diocese. After 20 years as a parish priest he held several senior posts before returning to Lincoln as Archdeacon of Lindsey. In retirement he has spent 13 years as a masseur – a hands-on, one-on-one attempt to compensate for the wasted years sitting on endless committees. He claims that he can tell a person’s theology as soon as he has his hands on their back!
