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.
