VERY SAD NEWS - The Old Roan Association are saddened to post the fact that Alf Knott died yesterday, 10th March 2011 just 15 days after his Wife Beryl on 23rd February!

Alf was at Roan as both a pupil and member of staff and Deputy Head for many years and would be known to thousands who passed through the School. He was also the Association's president 1989/...90.

RIP ALFIE!

This in reply to Colin Hooper (Nov 16). I think that 'Gus's R.H. man with the cane was Tommy Holt, Vice-Head before Lionel Berry. I was never one of his 'victims' (he was in fact a really nice man, if somewhat demanding). I did once get caned on the hand by 'Hank' Hankinson for failing a geography test - and I was not alone! Despite that I had the greatest respect for Hank. On one occasion I was suffering terribly from hives & he was most compassionate. On another occasion, when in the 5th or 6th form, I went to the London School of Economics for an evening lecture. Hank & Tommy Holt were both there & treated me royally afterward by taking me out for tea & cakes! Ah! the memories!

Very interesting looking through these pages. I was 1964 to 1971 and in the 1st 11 winning the England Schools' trophy with Hutley, Russon, Aitkin et al! (This was 1971 not 1991 as the photo says!) Still remember some of the committee members- played football and cricket for the old boys and had many a happy evening down the club. Hope all is well with school and club.

I was at the Roan School for girls from 1979-1984, the final year before the doors to the school closed for good and it was converted into flats. I was in the last intake for the separate boys/girls schools before they amalgamated into the junior and senior sections in Blackheath. I remember the last school photo taken on the front steps of the school when there were only approximaely 65 girls left in that great old building.

Just to inform you that poor old Alf Knott is a bit sick in hospital and won't be at the dinner on December 9th. He is Queen Elizabeth Hospital Woolwich room 16 with an infection after a minor op.

I was at the Gals School in Devonshire Drive from 69-74 (nee Hazelton) Denise Barnstaple I remember you. In fact didn't your cousin work on the QE2 as a chef? Don't know why I remember that but I do! I'm still in touch with Valerie Hobbs (now Mrs Stevens) and get all the Hobbs family news (Michael, Miriam & David all Old Roanians). Everyone fine and dandy. Would love to hear from anyone who remembers me.

As you may know Dave Bryden has decided to stand down from organising the
Alf Knott reunion lunch. Reg Hodge and I have taken on the onerous task of
booking the restaurant and seeing who would like to come.
The date is Thursday, 9th December and the place Cafe Rouge in Greenwich,
at 12.30 onwards.
Please let me know as soon as possible if you are able to come. Also let me
know if you can't, or don't know yet. That way I can start getting an idea
of numbers.
Also please feel free to pass this message on to any other Old Roans of a
certain age who fondly remember Alf. It is normally a very good event and
consumes much of the rest of the day.
Dave tells me that this is the XX1st lunch - but it feels as if it's been
going on for a lot longer than that!
All best wishes
John
