Old Princethorpians

If you have any announcements you would like to share with OPs in the next edition of The Old Princethorpian please email Melanie Butler.

Melissa Franklin (1995 - 2000) is marrying Ramiro Sanchez at the Chiesa Santa Maria Maddalena dei Pazzi in Florence on Sunday 13 September 2009.

Melissa and Ramiro both work as artists in Florence.

Phillip Tomson is all set to marry fiancee, Mary Doherty at Princethorpe on Wednesday 30th December this year.

Phillip left Princethorpe in 1994 having spent five years at the College as a weekly boarder.

Phillip and Mary both qualified as dentists from the University of Birminhgam and are now living in Harborne, Birmingham.

They are a busy couple, Phillip is currently doing specialist training in restorative dentistry, working on a PhD in pulp biology and teaching (undergraduate and postgraduate dental students). Mary has recently taken up a specialist training post in dental public health and is carrying out a Masters in public health. 

Phillip has kept in touch with Phil New who was in his year at school - they met up earlier this year with Phil, his wife Jo and their son Ben (also Phillip's godson) to celebrate Ben's 6th birthday.

Phillip and Mary are really looking forward to getting married at Princethorpe and are hoping for a crisp, sunny Winter's day!

We can't wait to see the pictures!

Paul Hubball (1985 - 1991) married Julie at Coventry Registry Office on 3 April 2009. The reception was held at Brandon Hall and the newlyweds live in Coventry.

Paul has been Head of Art at Princethorpe since 2000.

Fr Bill Clarkson's death in March and the subsequent Memorial Service in April at the College has prompted us to recognise the importance of keeping a record of Old Princethorpians who are now deceased.

We are compiling a list, and would be most grateful if OPs would advise us of any deaths amongst their contacts, so that we can be sensitive in our dealings with past pupils.

If you have any information please email Melanie Butler.

Congratulations to Graeme and Kerry Low on the birth of their first child, daughter Darcy on 24th April 2009.

The trio are enjoying family life in Rugby.

Graeme, who was at Princethorpe, from 1987 to 1991 is now an Environmental Officer for Islington Council. Coincidentally his wife Kerry also has a Princethorpe connection, working in the school as the Connexions Careers Advisor.

Graeme is still in touch with David Mitchell, Matthew Morgan and Sandeep Mitharu.
