Patch Match 2010

To commemorate the 10th Anniversary of the death of Old Ratcliffian, Patrick Gamble (97) on 20th April 2000, a special golf day was organised at Rothley Park Golf Club on Friday 16th April..

Several Old Ratcliffians attended including Rob & Charlotte Hull, Sam & Guiliana Bird, Emma Mathias (nee Trusler) Andrew Espinasse, Jordan Price and several members of the Gamble family, far too many to list here.

It was a happy day, very well organised by Patch's sister, Events Manager, Alex Gamble. There were about 60 golfers and a dinner and dance for about 100 guests in the evening. It was rounded off by a special film of Patch's short life, after which there was not a dry eye in the house.

A memorial Mass was subsequently celebrated on Tuesday, 20th April, at Ratcliffe College. The Mass was concelebrated by Fathers Philip Sainter, Simon Giles and David Tobin.
