London (China Town) Dinner This year the London Dinner, organised by Amy Shang and Will Winzor, took place on Saturday 23rd February at the ‘Red and Hot’ restaurant on Charing Cross Road. The evening was very well supported by a good number of members who had left school within the last ten years and it was also wonderful to see Mr Bill Frankland again at the ripe old age of 100, shortly to be 101. Other ‘seniors’ in attendance were the Head, James Davies, the Bursar, Nigel Halfpenny and wife Jan, and Tony Winzor and wife Catherine and myself. It was James’ first London Dinner and I believe he very much enjoyed meeting so many younger members of the club in such relaxed and informal surroundings. Tony Winzor, who was a key member of staff at school for over twenty-five years, left St Bees in 2009 to take up the Headship of Hunter Hall Prep School in Penrith. Since the London Dinners were restarted in 2009, after a lapse of many years, Tony has always been in attendance. His continued support is very much appreciated and it was lovely to see his wife, Catherine, this year. Our thanks go to Amy and Will for taking the time to organise what I believe was a most enjoyable evening. Amy took charge of the menu, so we had no idea what we would be eating, but as usual it was of a very high quality! We look forward to next year. David Lord (SH 60-65).
