Still Playing Cricket

was at St Lukes from 1963 to 1966 and lived at Killerton for all three years.
was at St Lukes from 1963 to 1966 and lived at Killerton for all three years. I believe that we we’re the first ever students to be accommodated. Our group established the soccer and rugby pitches and I played cricket for the Killerton village team. I scored my first ever century on that ground.
I studied for degrees part time at Birkbeck College,London and spent the final 20 years of my teaching career as Headmaster of Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys retiring in 2006.
I noticed Bill Hembry’s photo on the page and he started at Killerton in 1965.
Is there to be a reunion in 2019 with a cricket match. Although I am 74 now I was playing regularly until 2017 and could help out if you need a player who can bat, spin bowl but not run too much in the field.
As I write my wife is preparing Sunday Lunch I remember at Killerton in my time Sir Richard and Lady Anne used to invite us for sherry in their flat before lunch.
