In Memoriam

Gavin Mander, left 1989

Gavin was at Trinity from 198189, along with his twin brother Richard and his other brother, Phil.

Gavin played the flute in the Junior Chamber Orchestra, as well as the piano but he always had a great interest in sport. He represented the school at Junior Athletics and Cross Country, played 2nd XI Hockey and 2nd XV Rugby and was in the 3rd XI Cricket team. He was a prefect and took a leading part in directing and saving the Sixth Form revue – Gavin is reported in the school magazine as being solely responsible for rescuing the Revue from potentially being an utter disaster and actually delivering an hilarious show.

Gavin’s sporting love continued as he played hockey for the Old Boys and then joined Addiscombe Cricket Club when his son James was a junior there. Gavin went on to become a qualified umpire for the club over a large number of years and his presence will be greatly missed.
