Hello Les, As ever, excellent to hear that your social life is putting mine deservedly into the shade! And, of course, to hear your appraisal of Derek. Another year rushing past, as you say. Alan Cole and I often reminisce about the good times - especially the occasional night in Bristol in the 1. All the very best, and take care out there. Reg. 2. 8 June 2. From Stuart Mc. Laren. Hi Reg, The vicar of St Augustine's, the Reverend Father David Austin, has been delving into the parish archives and found a few interesting items referring to the parish's previously unsuspected close associations with HMSO. One mentions that the incumbent of St Augustine's was appointed chaplain to HMSO. Not sure yet who or when but presumably post- 1. Also, most intriguingly, that St Augustine's Church Hall was designated a bomb shelter for HMSO staff. I imagine the church hall would have been deployed more as an evacuation shelter than a bomb shelter in the event of an IRA- type bomb incident rather than following a nuclear strike! I wonder if it was ever so used. I recall that Marion Maxwell once occasioned the evacuation of Sovereign House when she spotted a suspect item on the corrugated roof of the old derelict laundry building opposite in Botolph Street. Amazingly, it turned out to be a handbag belonging to my sister, which had been stolen, emptied and chucked up there (you couldn't make this stuff up!) I feel confident that there are HMSOldies out there with more information. Best wishes, Stuart Mc. Laren. Hello Stuart, A great memory. I certainly remember the 'Chaplain to HMSO' role, around the late 1. I am sure that the late David Roberts acted as intermediary. The 'bomb shelter' aspect also rings a bell, and I have copied to Robin Kelly to see if he can dredge anything up from his younger and more alert memory, and to George Rokahr, who remembers everything. Thanks for the memory, and all the best. Reg. Stuart Mc. Laren adds: Your HMSOldies article on the Sov Club visitors book lists three chaplains. None named, however, were ever priest in charge of St Augustine's parish as far as I can tell. During the late 1. Rev Mac. Donald Steele, 1. St Augustine's, thereafter they were just plain vicars); Rev Idris Jones, 1. Rev Jack Mc. Ginley, 1. Rev Roy Skelhorn, 1. Rev Laurence Hubbard, 1. Thanks Stuart. I think Rev Idris Jones must have been the incumbent at the time. Upon further reflection, I think that David Roberts had dealings with the Vicar at Colegate - but with luck, we will find somebody with a good memory of those (upon reflection) happier days. Reg. Later: Stuart, in response to your note above, we have had quick replies from both Robin Kelly and George Rokahr, who have obviously maintained the efficiency they exhibited during their days in Office Services. George sums up his memories of the time in question - endorsed by Robin's note - as below. All the best. Reg. George Rokahr adds: I vaguely remember the Chaplain to HMSO and I think I was introduced to him once but that. I guess he would have been appointed sometime in 1. London. The church hall was never designated as a bomb shelter for HMSO staff. Instead it was available for the use by HMSO staff if they were evacuated from Sovereign House in inclement weather. I remember doing evacuation drills in my early days as an HEO when we had a key to the hall. I think we only used the hall once during an evacuation drill because it began to rain. We always tried to do evacuation drills in reasonable weather because I didn. A pity those annual cheques for use of the church hall as a bomb shelter are no longer in the post. The vicar needs a new car! June 2. 01. 7 - HMSO 'Through the Decades' Dear Derek James, Many thanks to you, and the fine EDP photographer and graphic designers, for the HMSO display in today's newspaper. It will bring back many memories to the considerable number of ex HMSO people who are still in and around Norwich. Reg Walker, Editor, HMSOldies. May 2. 01. 7 - From Joseph Hilley Sir: I am a writer in Houston, Texas (USA) and I am researching the life of George Fisher Gilmour, an artist who lived at Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey. Gilmour was born in 1. He signed his paintings as 'G. Gilmour' and often wrote under that name as well. At the time of his death Mr. Gilmour was remembered as a retired civil servant. In addition to painting, Mr. Gilmour wrote at least three plays. One of those plays, entitled 'North Light', was performed by the Shepherdess Dramatic Society at the Cripplegate Theatre during the month of October 1. The Dramatic Society was comprised of HMSO employees and I was wondering if Mr. Gilmour worked at HMSO and whether you or any other former employees might remember him or the play. I appreciate your assistance in this matter,Joe Joseph H. Hilley. Houston, TXDear Mr Hilley, Thank you for your fascinating note, which I have copied to ex HMSO staff of the time of which you speak - Messrs Birch, Barnard and Nash, in the hope that they might remember Mr Gilmour. The oldest HMSO Staff List which I have to hand is dated 1. Gilmour listed is the somewhat unusually- named Miss Janet Peter Gilmour, a Clerical Officer in Supplies Division born 2. April 1. 93. 3. Possibly a relation? The HMSOldies site carried this piece on Shepherdess Walk Dramatic Society some time ago. I will certainly let you know if anything emerges: good luck with your quest. And other recipients are invited to reply to you direct, should they wish. From a very warm Norwich. I have copied to previous recipients, plus to Gordon . Hope to hear something soon. Best wishes, Reg Walker. Gordon Robbie adds: Dear Mr Hilley, I am the 'Gordon' to whom Reg Walker refers, and nephew of the late Norman Robbie mentioned in the attachments to Reg's email. My uncle was an enthusiastic amateur thespian at home in Scotland before he went to work in London and became an active member of the Shepherdess Dramatic Society. He may well have appeared in their 1. North Light', but it was some 1. I joined HMSO in London and for some months lived with my uncle and his wife, and I don't remember him ever mentioning that particular play. I'm sorry that I can't offer any information, and I wish you success in your research. Cheers, Gordon Robbie. Joseph H. Hilley responded: Gordon, Reg: Thank you for your responses to my recent inquiry concerning plays written by George Fisher Gilmour which were performed by the Shepherdess Society. New information now indicates Mr. Gilmour most probably worked for Inland Revenue rather than HMSO. His plays were submitted to a competition sponsored by a writers group comprised of civil service workers and it was that organization that parcelled out the winning plays to various groups in order to have them performed. Thanks again for your help, Joe. Thank you for coming back to us: good to have the ends tied up! I had thought, in the absence of any 'HMSO Staff List' entry, that Mr Gilmour might have been from another Department. I don't know of anything similar to 'HMSOldies' for Inland Revenue - a much larger Department. You will doubtless be aware of the facilities available at The National Archives. Best wishes, Reg. John Nash adds: Hi Reg, This somewhat unusual request propelled me into a lot of interesting research over the weekend though it seems I have been forestalled by the subsequent information from our friend in Houston. However you may still like to have the info to round off the story. When I joined HMSO in 1. I was still involved in my Croydon theatricals and did not join the Shepherdess Players until a little later on. But I did go to the plays at the Cripplegate Theatre and certainly have no recollection of 'North Light'. George Fisher Gilmour is well documented as an artist but I could find no biographical details regarding possible Civil Service employment nor any involvement in amateur theatricals. So I researched the Samuel French Catalogue (the bible of Acting editions) and once again there was no trace of either play or author. I do recall however seeing a brief snippet in an SO Review of the time about a Civil Service amateur dramatic competition which took place not at the Cripplegate but one of the Whitehall Departments. Amongst those involved I seem to recall were Norman Robbie, Reg Vine, Marjorie Stoakley and others. My guess is that the competition was for One Act plays and Mr Gilmour probably provided his own typescript - hence no reference in French's catalogue. Sadly there is now almost no- one from those days but I wonder if Kay Barrow is still with us and might just remember anything about this production? Hope all this trivia is of some interest. Kind regards, John. Hello John,Many thanks for your note, which I have copied to Mr Hilley and to other participants for interest. It is always fascinating to see where these seemingly simple questions regarding times past will lead! If anything else emerges, rest assured that you will be kept informed. From a wet and windy Norwich. Reg. 29 May 2. 01. From Keith Hewitt. Hi Reg, I hope you are well and enjoying sunny Norwich. I've just found what was probably the last Christmas Lunch of the staff of Harrow Press, circa 1. I this thought might be of interest to some of your readers.
