SUPPER JULY 2019
On 16 July 2019, 24 Old Framlinghamians
met for the summer London Supper at
The Farmers Club, (kindly booked by
member Richard Sayer). All enjoyed
a tasty meal of Woodland Mushroom
Pate, Chicken, Leek & Mushroom Pie,
Caramel Set Cream, Poached Prunes
and Coffee. President Simon Dougherty
welcomed those present and proposed a
toast to the Society. Following this, Rosie
Bullen (M05-11), currently studying in
New York at the Manhattan School of
Music, ‘sang for her supper’ by singing
2 songs unaccompanied. All very much
appreciated her delightful performance.
Due to the absence of the London Supper
Coordinator Abid Hamid overseas, the
administrative arrangements for the supper
on this occasion had been made by OF
Co-ordinator Kate Jackson and Simon
Dougherty.

SUDBURY OFS/
SUDBURIANS - MINI
SUPPER JULY 2019
Three OFs all of four score years and more
gathered at the Angel Inn at Sudbury on
16 July 2019 for a most convivial evening,
probably the first of its kind in the Suffolk
town of Gainsborough fame.
James Ruddock-Broyd (G46-52) reports on
this rare get-together of Sudburians which
had a special significance for him. As part
of depositing artefacts with the Museum
and Ephemera Archive he arranged a
mini Supper conveniently next door to his
B & B. The first invitee was John Ineson
(G43-50) of Assington whom he had seen
regularly since James’ mother approached
him amongst 100 boys on Ipswich station
on the first day of term in September 1946
asking John to “Look after little James on
his first day.” The second was Peter Minter
(S45-50) of Bulmer whose father Laurie
(S1916-18) went into Westminster Bank
and told James’s Father they had sent Peter
to Framlingham which seemed a good
school so the rest is history as they say.
Alison Minter was also present. James’s
home was at Sudbury from 1935 to 1956.
Peter is Managing Director of Bulmer
Brick and Tile Company (“BBT”) and
one moment of note occurred for James
when sitting in a Governors Meeting
and the Bursar reported on a slight
delay in supplying the BBT part of the
building contract for the Rowley Hall at
Brandeston in the 1990s which was rather
embarrassing in the circumstances. What
is most pertinent to James visit to Sudbury
was that Peter is Chairman of Sudbury
Museum Trust and James longest Sudbury
friend Andrew Phillips (one time a Lord)
is Chairman of the Sudbury Ephemera
Archive so both friends are in charge of the
town’s historic records. That July day James
had visited Christopher Martin (K48-56)
who sadly was too unwell to join the supper
gathering. Andrew Moore (K53-59) gave
his apologies.
The business of Peter’s Bulmer Brick
and Tile Company is worth a comment
as it has hardly been mentioned in The
Framlinghamian over the years in that
they specialise in the old-style bricks and
are now about the only brick company
that does in the country. Hence many
well-known buildings have benefited
from the Minter expertise including the
College Squash Courts, Framlingham
Castle, Hampton Court, St Pancras
Station and Chambers, Highgrove and
Brisbane Museum. Peter published “The
Brickmaker’s Tale” in 2014 as a tribute
to the whole workforce which made the
success story possible.
