Jack Bullen (G03-08) has been in touch about the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair which he set up in November 2016 with his wife. He is a printmaker and keen to promote a medium that is very often overlooked and miss-understood. This annual fair showcases how rich, dynamic and innovative the printmaking scene is.
This year, like lots of other events, the physical fair had to be cancelled, but instead it has been launched from 12 November 2020 as a completely virtual entity until 13th December.
You can view the fair for free here.
Anyone interested can please email him.

| SOF Appoints Our Latest Moreau Leaving Scholars |
Last Updated: Wednesday, 11 November 2020
|
|
The fifteenth year of the Moreau Leaving Scholarships programme has, like so much else, been much affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The selectors had just got to the point of shortlisting five candidates from the thirteen applicants, when the first lockdown came into effect.
After hopes of face-to-face selection interviews were dashed, over the summer, interviews were recently held via Zoom, and we’re very pleased to welcome Sam Ponty and Amelia Slater as our latest Moreau Leaving Scholars.
They’ve already been in action, setting up a Facebook Group for their leaving-group and are looking forward to taking up their SOF Council Membership.
Sam is presently at Keele University, where he’s started his degree in medicine – though he’s had to spend far too much time rather isolated in his halls of residence. Amelia should have been in Fiji, by now, where she would have joined “Think Pacific”, which runs volunteer programmes in conjunction with the Government of Fiji. Instead, she’s currently working two jobs from home, and hopes to go to University next year, and pursue a career in a creative design business.

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?
