Jim Kirby recently sent me this note regarding the recent passing of Kevin McNama.

Just a note to advise you that Kevin McNama died in Perth W.A. last weekend after a long illness. He was at Clapham College from 63-69 (approx. end not sure.) Many will remember him as he ran the tuck shop in '67/'68. He had two younger brothers at the school, Brendan and John.

Kevin joined the Met and retired as an inspector some 5 years ago and emigrated to Perth with his wife, Mary, to be close to their two daughters Claire and Laura, who had previously gone to live there.

There will be a memorial Mass some time in late Sept or Oct in South London, possibly at St Peter's Home Meadow Road where his mother resides. I will advise details once formulated. Many will remember him as he was a pleasant, friendly chap.

He never joined the Old Boys although I used to give him my copy of The Clapper, as it was, and he said he would come to the lunch but sadly never made it with work/shift pressures. RIP Kevin.
