Tunbridge Wells Courier from Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England (2024)

MARCH 29, 1957 THE COURIER. Tories A RECORD FOR JUDD NOR the first time in its history. Judd School. Tonbridge, will this year have more than 400 pupils reported the Headmaster (Mr. F.

H. Taylor) at the 41st annual dinner of the Old Juddians' Society on Friday. The staff strength. he said, will be increased to 22. and there will be one complete extra form.

The school will also have its third major building improvement since the war- new gymnasium. One often hears criticisms of today's younger generation," said Mr. Taylor, but the only thing wrong is that most of us are no longer members of it. The senior boys of Judd are a pretty resilient lot: their range of achievement has been really excellent. Today the work of the sixth-former bears little relation to the 40-hour week." During the year, three Juddians had gained State scholarships and four had won county majors.

The school had also met success in its sporting activities. Only one rugby match had been lost by the 1st XV-" not bad for one of the smallest grammar schools in Kent." praised the achievement of Peter Wright, who this season became the first Old Juddian to earn an England rugby trial cap.

we can honestly report a year of progress for your association." How, asked Mr. S. Fraser Bird, Matfield and Brenchley branch of the association, could there be when the by-election had progress produced a drop in the Conservative majority? The association's funds had fallen, too, he said. He referred to a paragraph in the report offering congratulations to Conservatives elected or re-elected in local council elections. OUT OF TOUCH What efforts had been made to persuade them to bring about reduction in the rates? he asked.

The report was deplorable whitewash." The Conservative Central Omce was completely out of touch with the feelings of people at division and local levels, he alleged. People at the top were resentful of criticism. It is important that should stop patting each other on the back," he continued. We should concentrate on curing disease in the party--a disease that times shows itself in Garden parties and fetes were not enough. It was important to raise funds for the party, but Conserva- tives should rally together and fight.

MOST DISTRESSING YEAR ask the executive council to show a more militant attitude," he said. is one of the most distressing years we have had." members described the Government and Conservative policy as soft. complacent and feeble. The tendency today, they said, was to sit back and grumble. Replying to the comments, Mr.

John Gower reminded the meeting that they were discussing last year's activities on a local scale. Mr. Bird's remarks had been directed against the Government in a wider field. He agreed that there had been drop in subscriptions. The reason for the reduction in funds WAS obvious.

Money had been used for the 1955 general election, then again the following year for the by. election. He pointed out that annual meeting on Friday. the fighting fund" had increased. Referring to the by-election in which Mr.

Richard Hornby was returned with a slender majority, Mr. Gower said: "It may well be that some people expected a great drop in the majority, but there are an awful lot of people who are being wise after the event." Of the executive's report he added: We have set out in plain language what happened last year. If you don't like it, then do better next year. Let's go forward with a fighting attitude- a Conservative attitude." Mr. Gower continued.

Let's not conciliate our opponents fight Mr. Hugh Christie, chairman of the association, said that placeney and apathy had held up the Conservatives in last year's by-election. It had been so long since a real contest had been fought in the division that many people had forgotten the need to continue fighting, he added. Mr. Richard Hornby, M.P., ing at the end of the meeting, of said the he fully agreed with some made.
