David Hillman - RIP

David Hillman in 1962

David Hillman of Old Leake passed away recently following a long illness, aged 65 years.

A funeral service will take place at Boston Crematorium, Friday 29 April 2016 at 10:30am. Family flowers only. Donations to St Barnabas Hospice and Lincs Air Ambulance may be sent to FE Addlesee & Son Ltd, 44 Castle St, Boston, PE21 8PN.

Pete Milsom (BGS 1961-66), who was a school friend of David, said "I met up with him only last month and to me he seemed well despite recent health problems and I’m still shocked to hear the sad news. Dave as those who knew him will know, was an intelligent, thoughtful, gentle guy and a good friend.". Pete will represent the Old Bostonian Association at the funeral. I'm sure he would be pleased to be joined by other BGS alumni who knew David.

Boston Quiz League Success for BGS alumni

Thanks to Nick Charlton for this report on the Boston Quiz League results.

In Division 1 the winning team was from the Little Peacock, featuring Stephen Barker (former BGS student, second from left) and Richard Anderson (former BGS staff, third from left).

Knockout winners were White Hart A featuring (from left to right) Nick Charlton, Howard Charlton and Andy Boyer who are all former BGS students. The fourth team member was Neil Wilkinson.

Coming second in Division 1 was the same team from the White Hart.

The winning team in the sport and entertainment quiz was also a team from the White Hart, with Nick Charlton replaced by Mick MacShane, because Nick was the question setter for this competition.
