As some of you may have seen from the Echo, Roy Lenton has passed away. He was a history teacher at BS for many years. Although he never taught me I recall him with affection as I’m certain many others will and he was always a great supporter of the Old Boys attending many a dinner. For many years he ran the school football 1st XI and in his latter years at BS he was a point of contact for old boys at the school and contributed news of old boys to the magazine.

His daughter Heather Maidment has been in touch and has asked us to pass on the details for the funeral to the OB membership as any who wish to attend would be very welcome.

The funeral will be at St Paul’s Church, Landford Way, Throop, BH8 0NY at 2.45pm on Tuesday 5th March 2013.
