The BBC use Tony Wortham's film footage
We were contacted by the makers of a BBC4 documentary, as they heard that we hold some film footage or the rescue from the 'Jeanne Gougy' (a French fishing trawler) of it's crew members in 1962. They were delighted with Tony Wortham's capture of events, and have promised to make a donation towards the costs of the digitalisation of the Wortham Archive. The program is called "For those in Peril" and was shown on BBC4 at 9pm on Tuesday 4th May. Here is the link to the makers of the program: Available light TV
A sculpture in memory of Tony Wortham
The Association, in conjunction with Jim Massey the current Headmaster, have decided to commission an outdoor sculpture in memory of Tony Wortham. The current pupils have been given the task of producing an outline for the piece, from a brief given to them on his character,interests and hobbies.The winning idea will be reflected in local granite by the sculptor. We will be launching an appeal for donations towards this project in the forthcoming months. We have invited Peter Wortham, Tony's nephew to unveil the finished piece on Association Day, June 2011.
Philip Moore died on Wednesday 20th January 2010.
A service of thanksgiving was held on Tuesday 16th February, at the Chapel, Sutton's Hospital in Charterhouse, London. The address was given by Lord Butler of Brockwell KG and The Master of Charterhouse.
