DIY Scadding Exhibition

15th September, 2001

Rev Dr NA Scadding 1940 - 62 with Martin Brace 1956 - 59A first for the OC Society and very worthwhile: a number of OCs who had not been back to the school, in some cases, for ages gave this effort much support. There was no doubt (if ever there had been) that many OCs had the very highest opinion of the contribution Scad' made to their schooldays. 50 + pictures were brought as proof of the high esteem many of us have of his paintings, but what was so clear amongst all reminiscing, was that Scad' the man was just as highly regarded. A very real bonus on the day was the presence, not only of Scad's grand nephew and his wife , but also of two great grand-nephews and a grand-niece, two of whom are pupils at Clayesmore Prep School! 

This exhibition has also inspired John Eveleigh and David Koster to propose a most worthy project toSome of the Scad's on display recognise Scadding's enormous contribution to Clayesmore. They have both donated pictures for 'silent auction' to start off a proposed Scadding Prize fund (more details of this project are elsewhere in this Newsletter). Tony Hart has sent two 'Hartoons' of Scad & Apples which we are auctioning for the fund. The pictures and the 'Hartoons' are illustrated in this newsletter. We have also been given a fine Scadding oil painting by John Gould - a picture Scad' had given to Jos and Toss and they had passed on to John. This is also for sale and is illustrated on the front of this Newsletter.
