Chris Shaw (K51-56), not content with one successful novel The Imposter he has released on 17 August his new book titled Counterpunch. It’s the story of a young, London boxer who makes it to World Champion. There are lots of twist and turns that include the FBI, SAS, and police officers on two continents. Chris says “It packs a real punch from the first page (sorry!) and every competitive sportsperson will enjoy this book.”

Its available on Amazon via this link and see the attached sheet.

He now has a huge promotion job ahead of him to all the gyms and boxing establishments around the world to promote the book from his desk in Cairns Australia and he wonders how Charles Dickens got on with quill pens and no email/internet?

Any textural content and jpeg images that have not already been forwarded to a section editor should be sent to gensec@oldframlinghamian.com.  Please note that the NEW deadline for all contributions is 31st July 2020 – but the sooner material is received, the better!

Michael Spencer (R51-58) - Times Obituary - May 2020 - small
It is with great sadness that we have to inform you of the sudden death of Michael Anthony Gordon Spencer (R51-58) who died suddenly on 22 April 2020 aged 80. He was a retired export director for Dunlop and Tenza.

He had been a fine all round sportsman, a stalwart of OFGS for many years, a regular member of the Halford Hewitt team and Captain of the Society in 1996.  He was still a regular attendee at OFGS meetings and matches and was always a joy to play with.

He was a member of Ipswich Golf Club at Purdis Heath and had recently been Club Captain. He will be sorely missed.

Here’s a link to a notice in the Times.
