cox of Clare 3rd May Boat. Also in his first year at Cambridge, Paul Townsend (Manor, 1968-73) left Reading with a First last year and is now doing a Ph.D. in the Architecture Faculty and plays hockey for Christ's. Others around of whom we may report include Andrew Riley, a former member of Staff, now lecturing at Homerton, who unfortunately is often too busy to join us these days. Tim Stephenson (Dronfield, 1970-75) is in his second year reading medicine, medicine and more medicine at Caius. The Beck brothers, former Olavites David and Aidan, are still in Cambridge. David, a graduate of Pembroke, is with the City Police and Aidan is an undergraduate at the same college and rowed for their strong IVth May Boat. We look forward next year to having Chris Atkinson (School House, 1967-72) back from Siberia to complete his degree in Russian at Caius, and to Guy Shuttleworth's company during the Lent Term as Schoolmaster Fellow at Magdalene. Old Peterite numbers at Cambridge will increase next year since there are only three leavers and more than twice as many recruits. To those leaving, Simon Atkinson, Steve Coverdale and John Mitchell, we wish the best of luck, and assure those coming up in October of a warm welcome. There is no formal O.P. dinner in Cambridge, but we do meet every few weeks to enjoy each other's hospitality. The high point of this year was the party in St. John's after Cambridge Regatta, when we were very pleased to have with us David Hughes and the two School crews and a number of non-Cambridge O.P.s, parents and friends. May we emphasise, finally, that Peterites past and present are always very welcome at our informal gatherings in college dining-halls and bars. The Cambridge Old Peterites.
