Hack (talk) 13:53, 27 October 2018 (UTC)Robert Bairamian
BAIRAMIAN Robert MA (Cantab) FRGS.
Robert Bairamian (18 March 1935 - 7 September 2018), was the Head master of Holmewood House, Aberdour School and Claremont Fan Court School.
Following schooling at Dover College and St Catharine's College, Cambridge, son of Sir Vahé Bairamian, the Lord Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Sierra Leone between 1957 and 1959. He played cricket for Cambridge University Cricket Club, playing First-class cricket against Middlesex County Cricket Club and Free Foresters at Fenner's in 1957. Robert also played in the Minor Counties Championship cricket and Second XI Championship for Kent Second XI in 1958. He was also a keen player for Bluemantle’s, Band of Brothers, Stragglers of Asia, Invalids and Marylebone Cricket Club.
, Bob’s career as a headmaster was never dull, inspiring many thousands of children from all over the world, building lasting friendships with them and reveling in their successes. His enthusiasm matched theirs, and his boundless energy imbued a loyalty that is remembered by his charges and staff alike.
Bluemantle’s, Band of Brothers, Stragglers of Asia, Invalids, MCC and Kent 2nd XI. He was a highly competitive allrounder, scoring thousands of runs and playing two first class games whilst at Cambridge. His erstwhile father in law, Tom Crawford, also played for Kent with distinction, later becoming club President, and it was he who made Bob’s sons, Rupert and Justin, life members on the day they were born.
Bluemantle week became more than a cricket festival under Bob’s inimitable leadership. Full blown lunch parties, evening drinks, pre-match visits to various local pubs and the inevitable response to the question of lunch…..”the woman is cooking pig” and then “are you getting enough?” made the week an unmissable fixture in both the sports and social diaries. His nicknames for his players, often shouted from the top row of pavilion, were highly imaginative; Toby Poesrcott-Edgerton became The Power Driven Hedgecutter; The Cloke twins, Cloak and Dagger. The list goes on and on.
Over the years many restaurants and hostelries were tried, some with more success than others. True to character, Bob would befriend the more like-minded restaurateurs, most of whom were delighted to see him and his band of merry men clad in whites, as they knew they were in for a good night with the till ringing and an increase in decibels that betrayed the usually sedate surroundings for the other 51 weeks of the year. A favourite was The Giggling Squid, which, of course, became known as the Bluemantle Thai. There would very rarely be an evening where Bob would not insist on high jinks somewhere, often driven by trusty friends such as the late James Wesson or Rex Roberts (rarely out of second gear). Many an Old Amplefordian, Moose or Straggler felt the effects of a night out with Bob, but no one had more stamina or enthusiasm for the next day’s game than he.
A fuller obituary will appear in time, but in recording the death of one of life’s real characters, Bluemtantle’s CC bids farewell to its Imperator, the unique Headmaster, Bob.
The service of thanksgiving is at St John the Baptist, Penshurst on Friday 28th September at 2 pm.

editSpeedy deletion nomination of Frankie Brown (cricketer)
editIf this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Frankie Brown (cricketer) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.
