Clare Melbourne

Post BHS went onto KGV and finished there after my A levels. Went back to the UK and studied Hotel Management, met David my husband while doing that - 2 decades ago now. I worked in hotels and golf clubs and we had our first child, Connor in the UK in 1998.

David then got posted to Bangkok and Gemma-Rose arrived in 2001. We spent 4 years in Bangkok and loved it! I managed to get myself a little job running a Kindergarten so kept me busy and out of the shops! We then moved to India 3 years ago, again with David's job and have been living here in Delhi since then.

I was working at the British School for just over 2 years but now I am working at the British High Commission, again a little job which keeps the brain cells working and out of trouble. We have just signed to stay on for another 2 years, so as long as the gin keeps flowing should just manage it.....not an easy place to live!

Anjela Jarvis

Moved to UK in '79 but post school and work for a couple of years moved back to HK in '87 to work in the family business. Side stepped this and took up Scuba Diving which then became chief hobby as well as profession in the years leading up the handover - enjoyed some awesome trips to Bali and Great Barrier Reef.

Bought a dive resort in South Africa in '97 with a freind which all went along fine until through until 2001-02 when things went sour. Regrouped and moved to Cape Town where I found Mr Right (Pierre), an Afrikaans man 7 years my junior - we were married two weeks after our first date. We moved to NZ shortly afterwards and have been enjoying life here in a tiny village called Tahuna. However, we are now in the process of relocating to Brisbane for the next chapter - both of us have jobs, and we've got a car but other necessities of life are still W in P.

The scuba diving is warmer, so if anybody wants to buy a house in a quiet New Zealand village then get in touch ........

Damon, Moge and Manoj - HK 7s 2004

Nearing closing time at the HK 7s when this photo was taken in 2004, these three chaps look in a state of "feeling no pain" ...

From left:

- Moge still looking young as ever. Now back in HK after a recent stretch in Shanghai. Married to Pia a couple of years back in Phukett and #1 son is still sub 12-months.

- Manoj remains firmly placed in HK, working in the family business. He must be one of the only members of the 78 club to have two kids now at BHS; a legacy in the making ...

- Damon lives in Toronto and is busy with three lads, well some of the time, as his job as a pilot with Air Canada gives him some breathing space to catch up for bevvies with mates scattered across Air Canada's global network.

Simon Chau

Simon's living in HK still, working for British Telecom. He left the bachelor club a year ago and surfing ranks as his main pastime.

Tim Morgan - New Zealand

To fill you all in on the last 30 odd years, I left HK in 79 after one term at KGV and moved to NZ with parents and sisters. I have pretty much lived in and around Hamilton , New Zealand ever since.

We left HK because my Dad left China light and power to come and work at power project/station, just north of Hamilton . With in a couple of years of being here Dad was promoted to overall manager and just like him, after high school I too became an engineer and got a job at the same place. In the mid 80’s there were huge changes in the public sector here and there were lots of redundancies. I got caught up in it all and got made redundant by my own Dad. – “Good on him” as we Kiwis say.

Having used the redundancy money to build my first house, I have pretty much stayed in engineering in different fields since then. Last year I decided to quit making other people rich and bought a business. I now run my own small civil construction company and have given my self the grand title of Managing Director. I only have two staff so at times I am also the chief tea boy and floor sweeper.

I am married to Louise- a teacher and part time marketing director in our company. She pays the bills and tries to keep us in work as well as making the tea. We have one son- Ben who is nearly eight and future All Black in the making. He is already better at rugby than I ever was. When we left HK I had played one term of rugby at KGV and thought I was quite good. I soon lost that illusion when I came here and got smashed by kids half my size. Although I am still an ardent rugby fan, (Go the Chiefs) I soon gave up playing and took up running and latter Triathlon, I haven’t done much of that in the last year either. I managed the NZ Ironman in 2003 but now just train socially to keep my clothes fitting- Just.

We live on a lifestyle block (2.5 Acres) just north of Hamilton . – 1 Cow, 3 Goats, 2 ducks, 1 dog & 1 cat. It keeps me busy at week ends, when I am not working or watching rugby.

My parents have retired in Taupo, which is really handy because Taupo is one of New Zealand ’s better Holiday spots. One of my sisters still lives in Hamilton- married with two daughters, 5 & 7 and the other lives in Melbourne - Married with a Daughter 12 and a son 9.

I got back to HK in 1995 for about a week after having spent 3 months in Europe . I wish I had had all your contacts back then, it would have been great to catch up. I guess it’s my own fault, because I am crap at keeping in contact with people- I’ll try better now -he lies. I couldn’t believe the changes, but still managed to find my way round and show Louise all the old places I lived and been to school. I don’t think BHS had changed a bit.

I am going to try to get to the reunion; I just need to convince the other director in the company that at least one of us needs a R&D trip to London .

Hazel Black

I went to boarding school after the first year of KGV then my parents moved back to England in 83. I came back to HK for the summer of 85 to stay with my sister, then came back on my own in 88. I have been here ever since. I too work in Real Estate. I do both residential and commercial property in HK and have had my own company since 93.

I am single and have a great dog to keep me company. I have traveled a lot over the years and have been skydiving since 91 (photos attached). I have well over 1000 skydives and have done numerous photo shoots, stunts and TV commercials. I love all the adrenaline sports but am not as gung ho as I used to be (I now know how much it hurts when you wipe out!). There is no skydiving club in HK now so I spend my spare time hiking, paddling, playing squash and partying.
