President Committee & Area Representatives
The President Chris Maunder-Taylor 1960-1966 introduces himself:
I entered the School in the autumn of 1960 following my two older brothers, as well as my Father and his two brothers, into School House (Weymouth).
I enjoyed my school days. I left having developed an enduring love of choral music, having formed an affection for France and the French, and having learned that enthusiastic participation in everything can be as rewarding as great expertise.
When I left my Father sent me to speak to an Old Millhillian friend about working as a surveyor in the Shires. Roger Raffety took me on as an articled pupil and after 45 years in the property market and 40 years after qualifying as a Chartered Surveyor, an enjoyable career has culminated in joining the family firm.
My wife Beverley is Deputy Head of Stormont, a girls’ preparatory school in Potters Bar. Of my three children, Helene lives with her family in Australia, Oliver with his mother in Evesham and Guy in London, where he is about to embark on a career in teaching, sponsored on the GTP scheme.
As for myself, I play golf, fish on the fly, sing in a local choir and grow vegetables. I also enjoy the friendship of a large circle of fellow Old Millhillians.

“I was the Captain of Colts rugby XV. I became a Chartered Accountant and have lived and worked overseas for the last 34 years; first in Malaysia then, since 1982, in Dubai. Now retired and remaining in Dubai.
OMs are pretty sparse in this region. Our aim is to persuade OM Presidents to include Dubai on their world tours. When they do we’ve had some enjoyable dinners”

Australia has a growing base of OMs of all age groups spread right around this large region. Working together with our National Committee, our aim is to support a thriving social network of OMs in Australia and to maintain our support wherever possible for our former School. We welcome all newcomers to this country and those who have been here much longer but lost contact. Please email or call me.
