News of Old Boys It is always wonderful to hear from our Old Trinity community. If you would like to submit any News of Old Boys for a future edition or wish to update your details, please email us at otg@trinity.vic.edu.au It was great to hear from Simon Moss (OTG 1995–00) who was unable to return to Australia for his 2000 20-Year Reunion. Simon’s organisation, Global Citizen, recently ran America’s first large‑scale concert since COVID in Los Angeles, Vax Live, with an audience of fully vaccinated health and frontline workers. The concert was aired on Channel 10 in Australia. As a result of the campaign around the show, 26 million doses of vaccines for low-income countries and US$300 million was donated to the international effort to get everyone, everywhere vaccinated as soon as possible. James Hopkins (OTG 1994–01) was unable to travel from London for his 2001 20-Year reunion, but he has news! After 13 years of independence, his business, The London Cocktail Club, is being floated on the London Stock Exchange in a bid to develop the company from its current 10 bars to 40 in the next three years. James and his partner, Wendy, are also very excited to announce they are expecting their first child in August. Congratulations to Todd Goldstein (OTG 2001–06) and his partner, Felicity, on the birth of their baby boy, adding to their growing family. Todd is an AFL player with the North Melbourne Football Club.
32 | THE TRINIT Y GRAMMARIAN
Many Old Trinity Grammarians would have been interested to read an article in the Herald Sun on 16 May about our very own David Mackay (OTG 2001–06). David is a ‘one club’ AFL player with the Adelaide Crows. Drafted at the end of 2006, he has played more than 235 games, placing him in the top-10 players in terms of games played at that club. David is married with three children. In the article, David speaks about the great moments, but also about how those times of adversity and challenge make the good times really great.
Jack Cuthbertson (OTG 2005–10) sent his apologies as he was unable to attend the 2010 10-Year Reunion. Jack is a doctor and is currently living in the Czech Republic with his Czech-born wife, Anna. Andrew Rodger (OTG 1996–01) has been based in London since 2013. Andrew lives in North London with his partner, Daria, and their one-year-old son, Alexander. Unfortunately, Andrew was unable to return to Australia for his 2001 20‑Year Reunion.
Our best wishes to Adam Tomlinson (OTG 2006–11) who recently suffered an ACL injury. Adam is a key defender at the Melbourne Football Club, and we wish him a speedy recovery. Welcome to the world, Alfie Donald Stockdale, born on the Gold Coast in April 2021. When his family takes up residence in Melbourne, Alfie will be a third generation Stockdale to attend Trinity. He is pictured with Grandpa Stuart Stockdale (OTG 1959–68) and proud father Cameron Stockdale (OTG 1997–06). Congratulations to the Stockdale family.

In late-2020, Ryan Hillas (OTG 1995–05) and his wife, Shalaini, welcomed their second child, Kaia Skye, a little sister to Tate. After VCE, Timothy Walsh (OTG 1979–89) completed his Bachelor of Business in Accounting at Victoria University and later qualified as a chartered accountant. Moving to London in early 2000 was a great opportunity to travel and work in various consulting roles (mostly in insurance and investment banking), before returning to Melbourne in 2019. He has retrained and is working as mortgage broker at the ‘Aussie Home Loans’ franchise in Moonee Ponds. Tim would welcome hearing from anyone in the Trinity community needing assistance and can be contacted on 0432 771 193 or by email at timothy.walsh@aussie.com.au
