Sam Culverwell (11088) critically beat the Guernsey lockdown by 24 hours as he prepares in the UK for the coming pro season with Trinity Racing. The 20-year-old Sarnian is clocking up big rides pushing the six-hour mark, which would not have been possible in Guernsey. Sam is eyeing up a training camp near Devon and could potentially race in Belgium within the next few months.

Adie Peacegood (8218) has been made a Partner at PWC in Guernsey. The former OEA Treasurer and renowned Guernsey Hockey player has been at PWC since 1999, focussing on the Alternative Funds sector with significant experience in the North American market, having spent 2 years at PWC in Toronto.

Fundraising during the pandemic has seen two OEs raise significant funds for their respective charities.

Unable to travel to the island due to lockdown, he is hoping to make it over once restrictions ease.

Meanwhile Simon Kent (8172) is looking to raise funds for the Guernsey Downs Syndrome Group once travel restrictions ease; he is looking to complete the 100km “321 Walk” along the Thames towpath later in the year. In the meantime, he will be trying to complete a 100km walk in Guernsey within a time of 24 hours later in March.

Elliot Albert Orchard (10754) has released his new single “Flowers” live streaming from his Facebook page. The single was originally supposed to be launched at St James but this had to be cancelled due to lockdown.
