"Why the change? Why exclude Bexhill?"

by george 2010-04-09

"Wrong in protocol, principle, and fact? Wrong to prefix Royal, other than perhaps with "Old", to evidence derivation from the Chartered Institution. Wrong to dilute our distinctiveness by focussing our increasingly tenuous claim for Royal partonage. Wrong, because the ORA is for scholars AND foundationers irrespective of whether they attended Bearwood. "
