One initiative we launched at the event was 'adopt-a-chair' at the club. When the club makeover is finished, our furniture will go back in the bar....it will look shabby. So we are asking members to give a gift of £50 to re-furbish a chair as we as an Association, are not flushed with money. We had four chairs adopted on the day. If you are interested contact Mike Stallard ([email protected]) or Donna Trimmings ([email protected]). Lastly, my President’s Charity Dinner Dance will now show off our clubhouse makeover in January. So you have plenty of time to contact me for tickets please on 07934131343 or at [email protected].

First congratulations to our cricketers for winning the 1st, 2nd & 3rd team leagues. A great effort by all. So in a way, to bring them down to earth, it was nice for the President's XI to thrash the Club side by 45 runs in a Twenty/20 game on 12 September. I wish to thank all who helped make it a memorable day... that includes Chas Cooper & Wally Morgan for umpiring, Ryan Patel for his innings, Gary Forge for starting the Club's collapse with the first ball of the innings and Adam 'Scuttle' Chandler for his remarkable 4 wickets. The next day was the re-union of those who left the school around 50 years ago (starting years 1956-60). It was very well attended, with Pat Keene and her team giving us a veritable feast at lunchtime. There were about 80 old pupils and their partners, several not having been to the club for many a year, three domiciled in Canada & one in Australia. A great thanks must go to Malcolm Griffin & Ian Newton for organising the event along with Ian Lambert for getting the memorabilia. There were many comments about the clubhouse makeover, all favourable.

In 1973, Lee Hurst started playing rugby at Rutlish school and bought his first rugby book - Rothmans Rugby Yearbook 1973-74. For nostalgic and historical reasons, he wishes to build a collection of material relating to this particular season.
He would be grateful if anyone can supply scans or photocopies of rugby fixtures, results, reports, etc. for the school from that season.
Nestled amongst the John Innes designed Merton Park conservation area, Finch & Co enjoys a unique position. ‘Green flag’ awarded spaces, tree lined avenues and beautiful Edwardian houses occupy the surrounding roads. The area feels rural despite its proximity to London. In the late 19
th century, John Innes, of
compost fame, together with his brother James, turned one of London’s original garden suburbs into a semi rural suburb for the City businessmen of the time. Now in the 21
st century, we can fully appreciate
the quality and style of these 1920s and 1930s homes that were not destroyed during the war. The homes designed by Quartermain and Brocklesby remain highly sought after.
The Finch office team are enthusiastic, exuberant and excited. They speak with great affection for the area, especially Beryl who has been with the company for 23 years. Her local knowledge is invaluable, thanks to her super memory. With Manager Katharine; Stefan, David and Beryl provide a service to the community which is unique. Sponsorship and links with Old Ruts sports club demonstrate that the ‘village’ spirit is alive and thriving. The area is now home to all combinations of housing stock, from flats and cottages to large detached homes, all carefully designed to complement the locality.
