AKHLAGHI, FARBOD (Sings, 2008-2012)

Herefordshire, where we brought up our two daughters and remained for 36 years. In 2000 I left the engineering industry and spent 18 months working with the auctioneer and TV personality Philip Serrell, followed by twelve years as manager of a progressive GP practice in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire until my retirement in 2014. I have always been a keen amateur sportsman and have played cricket, tennis, hockey and badminton at various times throughout my life. I joined Colwall Cricket Club on leaving Teddies and played for the club for nearly 30 years, becoming Second Team Captain and Club Secretary and being elected a life member when I finished playing. During my playing time the club reached the semi-finals of The National Village Championships on two occasions, and I was justly proud when on 19 September 2020 the club reached and won the final at Lords. An important member of that winning team is Richard Howitt, until fairly recently a member of the SES Common Room. I played hockey for Worcester for 25 years and was one of the original founding members of Bosbury Mixed Hockey Club who became one of the leading sides in the area. I have played tennis from the age of twelve and played for Teddies in 1967 and 68, including representing currently playing for Nottinghamshire Veterans in the County Championships. On retirement we moved to the Vale of Belvoir on the Nottinghamshire/ Leicestershire border to be near both our daughters and our four grandchildren. I am still in touch with two former Mac’s friends – Richard Greenway and Shaun Pitt, but I would also be pleased to hear from any other OSE who might remember me or who lives in this part of the country. the school in the Independent Schools Championships.
