OB Day Saturday 18th June 2011
Old Blundellian Day 2011 will take place on Saturday 18th June. The theme for the day will be ‘The Law’. All OBs are very welcome but we hope to attract back as many as possible who have a connection with the law including judges, barristers, solicitors and police officers.
President for the Day
Judge Paul Waterworth (NC 1958-62) has agreed to be President for the Day. Paul was Head Boy of Blundell’s in 1962. He played for two years in the 1st XV and 1st XI and was a full colour in both sports. He subsequently played regularly for the OBCC.
After leaving school, Paul attended the College of Law and was admitted a solicitor in 1968. He then practised first in London and later in Warwickshire, where he became senior partner. He became a deputy judge and was appointed a full time judge in 1999. He sat for 10 years in the Midlands, increasingly specialising in family cases. He and his wife Helen had owned a house on Dartmoor for some time and in 2009 Paul moved to the Western Circuit. He now sits at Exeter and Barnstaple.

In his thirties, Paul took up long distance running and eventually ran 22 marathons, achieving a best time of 3 hours 12 minutes. He ran marathons in many cities including London, New York, Brussels, Paris and Berlin. He now runs gently around the boundary of his local cricket club in Lustleigh, dreaming of those glory days. He competed (successfully) against his son James in The Russell in 1992 and was delighted to discover that there was still life in the old legs.
Paul became Chairman of the Old Blundellian Club in 2008.
Preacher
Revd James Patrick (M 1980-85), Circuit Judge, ex-head of School and ordained priest, has agreed to preach.
