Alumni Runners - Annual Hare & Hounds Race in London

Congratulations to OB runners Justin Reynolds (SH 1986-91), Tom Cumberlege (SH 1990-93), Ben Boswell (FH 2000-02) and Peter Hickey (FH 1995-2000) for braving the wet and cold conditions to run in the recent Hare & Hounds Race in London. Honourable mentions to these OBs & friends who came to cheer on the runners; Giles Stimson (NC 1960-65), Peter Price (1958-63), Anthony Jacques (SH 1962-66), Chris Barker (P 1060-65), Marion Augustin and Peter Ward (FH 1959-64).

The Hare & Hounds is a long standing race for alumni of schools with strong cross-country running traditions. Blundell's would very much like to continue to represent the event. If you enjoy running (or even if you don't!) and are based near London, please let us know.

More information will be sent in the next Popham Post.

Did you get our Christmas Card?

We were delighted to send our lovely Community a Christmas card this year. We normally send an electronic card each year, but after such a long time apart, we wanted to send a card to all our friends.

If you did not receive a card, or the card was sent to the wrong address (i.e. parents address), please update your details here.
