Spring Golf Day – Tues 19 May
Join other golfers at the Spring OW Golf Meeting at Tadmarton
Heath Golf Club on Tuesday 19 May.
OW Cross Country
The Thames Hare and Hounds 62nd Alumni Race was a first for
OW veterans Jack Thornton (WS 1951-58), Dave Phillips (WS 195561) and Martin Garrett (WS 1965-72).
The race, five miles up and over Wimbledon Common in early
December, was across very tough terrain, through woods and
along muddy trails.
Simon Wurr (WS 1988-95) has run the race many times (winning
it in 2007, 2010 and 2013) but this was the first time, as far as
we’re aware, that an OW team had competed. For Jack Thornton
especially, getting fit and taking part was a great personal challenge.
His wrong turn through the woods has made him even more
determined to take part in 2015.
Many congratulations to the OW team, who were placed third in
the Over 60s race (despite the wrong turn!). The chaps are keen
to compete again in 2015 and the anticipated date for the race
is Saturday 12 December. If any OWs would like to join the team
(unlimited numbers of any age can compete), please register your
interest by emailing Anne Douglas on a.douglas@warwickschool.org.
The day will follow the usual format of Edinburgh foursomes
in the morning and an individual stableford in the afternoon, to
allow members who only wish to play 18 holes the chance to
participate in the afternoon.
The charge will be £70 for 36 holes or £60 for 18 holes (includes
lunch, 3 course dinner, green fees and prizes).
Please contact Julian Marcus (arkvets@hotmail.com) if you
would like to play. Five days’ notice is required for final numbers.
Good luck to our OW golfers playing in the Grafton Morrish
Qualifying Round at Olton on Sat 16 May!

The Warwick School Hall Campaign
The Pyne Room at full capacity, 1966.
Warwick School’s story is one of growth, aspiration and the pursuit
of excellence. It has developed from a small school of 300 boys
in the 1920s to a bustling community of over 1,200 students
and 150 staff today. We consistently achieve high standards in a
variety of areas, from academic results to dramatic and musical
accomplishment, and sporting success. Our buildings and facilities
offer boys tremendous opportunities and need to continually improve
and evolve in order to match the growth and high standards of the
School.
The Guy Nelson Hall under construction in 1969.
A campaign to raise this additional £1.1 million has been launched.
Huge thanks to Ben Hanlin (WS 1999-2004), magician and star
of Tricked, who has helped make an online video to support the
campaign. Watch the film on www.warwickschool.org/support.
If you would like to contribute to this unique opportunity to
make a difference to current and future generations of boys,
see www.warwickschool.org/support or contact Development
Director Phillip Rothwell, p.rothwell@warwickschool.org,
tel: 01926 776402.
Big School, now the Pyne Room, served as the original Assembly
Hall for the School until the Guy Nelson Hall was built in 1970. The
Guy Nelson Hall has been the focal point of School life and heart
of the community for five decades. Sadly, the hall is no longer fit
for purpose and, quite simply, we can no longer accommodate the
School in one place.
Work has begun on an exciting new Hall to serve current and future
generations of boys. The new Warwick School Hall will be a 1,000
seat auditorium with the finest acoustics, facilities and adaptable
space. It will be able to host whole Senior School assemblies,
examinations, concerts, dinners and special events.
The new Warwick School Hall will cost £7.5 million, of which the
School has committed £6.4 million. Our goal is to raise the additional
£1.1 million to make the Hall the best it can be.

Dan Dalton MEP
Law and Finance Networking Dinner
Twelve OW professionals, who work in Law or Finance, returned to School in early February for
a new networking initiative run by the Careers and Development and Alumni Departments. The
Dinner gave forty boys, considering a career in Law or Finance, an ideal opportunity to gather
information, discuss options and make some great contacts. A huge thank you to OWs who
gave their valuable time and shared their knowledge and expertise with these young men.
Dan Dalton (OW 1987-92) became an MEP
for the West Midlands in January 2015. Prior
to entering politics, Dan was a professional
cricketer for Warwickshire and a cricket coach.
He was a policy adviser for the ECR group in the
European Parliament before becoming an MEP.

Spotlight on…
Mark Evans (WS 1974-81)
Despite school reports which spoke of a boy who “organises himself
well and keeps several balls in the air at the same time”, Mark may well
have disappointed and infuriated his A level teachers. Having been a
model O Level student, he spent much of the Sixth Form restoring cars,
including a Triumph Herald 1360 Convertible. His initial failure to get into
vet school made him even more determined and he spent a solitary
year studying and working in Warwick town library, retaking his A Levels
and earning a place at the Royal Veterinary College in London.
Mark and Polo: “Dogs: Their Secret Lives” for Channel 4.
Mark Evans (WS 1974-81) is easy to like but not an easy man to
describe… at once enthusiastic animal lover, passionate engineer,
trusted vet and scientist, prolific author and popular broadcaster. He is
the well-known face of Channel 4’s science and animal programmes,
the presenter of the BAFTA-winning Inside Nature’s Giants and
Discovery’s record-breaking Is Born series. He has made over 1,000
films, from horse biology to the human genome and from the Big Foot
Files in Russia to Everest Base Camp, interspersed with a myriad
of DIY, gardening, lifestyle and wildlife programmes.
Mark Evans is even less easy to pin down. His filming now takes him
all over the world and his current commitments range from work on
the behaviour and psychology of dogs, filming behind the scenes at
Jaguar Land Rover, Coventry and a trip to the Himalayas with the
world’s greatest living climber. He promises to return to Warwick
School when his schedule allows, to share his amazing and inspiring
story with today’s boys.
“Sex in the Wild” – Botswana.
www.oldwarwickians.org
Mark qualified as a vet in 1987 and loved working in private practice.
In 1990, his career took an unexpected turn. Late for work one day,
he glimpsed an appeal to find the fattest cat in Britain on TV-am.
Angry with what he saw as highly irresponsible broadcasting, Mark
tracked down and tackled the programme’s producer. He was
invited onto the show and this camera-shy man, who provided stage
lighting behind the scenes in the Guy Nelson Hall, found himself in the
spotlight on prime time TV. Surprisingly to Mark, the programme was
incredibly well received. His integrity and talent were recognised and
TV offers began to come in.
Mark juggled broadcasting with practising as a vet for many years
but, for most of the last two decades, producing and presenting TV
documentaries has been his main focus. Although, from 2007 to 2010
he was also the RSPCA’s Chief Vet. His passion and enthusiasm for
animals and how things work have been matched with fantastic filming
and travel opportunities. One of his proudest achievements was the
18 films made for Inside Nature’s Giants.
Mark Evans is easy to admire. He is pursuing an amazing career with
hard work, passion, an inquisitive nature and a bit of luck. Forty years ago
his form master Barry Young summed up his start at Warwick School
with “Full of enthusiasm, works hard… a good all-rounder”. Mark Evans
may well have infuriated his A Level teachers, but he did not disappoint.
