Neil Sargeant We have had very sad news of the Sargeant family, Kevin ('64-69), Brendan '65^69) and Keith ('68-71). Their younger brother Neil (St. Olave's '67271) was killed on August 2nd 1988 in a helicopter crash in the Bay of Bengal. Neil, who was 29, was on his way home when the helicopter was caught in a tropical storm. He leaves a widow and two young children, Emma (3) and Mark (10 months). We extend our deepest sympathy to the family. Notes 1. Old Peterite Club members are invited to submit to the Hon. Secretary any item which they would like considered by the Committee before their next meeting on Saturday, 26th November. 2. Congratulations to the Pandas Hockey Club on the occasion of their 25th Anniversary (a short report with results follows later). 3. The Annual Dinner at School and all the regional dinners are most enjoyable and convivial occasions. The Club is very grateful to all the area organisers and there are many O.P.'s who are most supportive. Do urge your contemporaries to join you and at least they will know someone there. Sadly, the Annual Dinner at St. Peter's was half its usual strength. If each O.P. present this year or last would contact 76
