Poor old "Bonk" apparently he died in his Bonk mobile in the school grounds and had been living in it for years had nowhere to go and nothing else in his life, if anyone has any more pictures I would love to see them.
It's very sad... I was just talking about bonk to a fencing teacher who has been on the fencing circuit for the last forty years. She remembered him but didn't know what had happened to him. He was an institution.
Hey chaps. Is an old 'girl' allowed to post a message also. Re: Bonk. The thought of any other end for him would simply not have been right. Mayfield was his life and true love. I have often regaled friends and family with tales about my much loved, dare I say totally mad, maths teacher. They don't make them like him any more. Hi to all other old boys and girls.

I too remember Bonk. I was at Mayfield in the early 80's. Very sad to hear about his demise, he was a kind and decent man. bye. Mike McEntee, Fisher House then Campion. Friends were Paul Clemments, William Knight, Charles Gordon, Gary 'fingers', Patrick Chu, Raymond Lou,Amir Khan. Wow, blast from the past names. Kentucky Fried Movie and 'parachutes' in the dorm with the mattresses anyone ? All seems a blur.
