  Tuesday, June 15th, saw an additional event in the Oldboys social calendar - a voyage on the River Thames. Organised by Ian Rutter (maritime side) and Howard Dell (catering side), some 16 Oldboys took a voyage from Marlow to Bourne End and back in the safe hands of Ian, with his electric launch "Eddy Current", ably crewed by his wife Sylvia, and Ian's friends Derek Brown and Dick Bradford with their steam launches "Vanessa" and "Surabaya". We began with lunch at the "Two Brewers" in Marlow.
