Memories differ, but analysis shows that there is a clear winner in the coldest winter quiz. The answer can be found in the latest (Spring) issue of New Cavalier that will be landing on a doormat near you in a few week’s time. As usual, TWA member’s will also be able to view it on this website in due course.

    The winter I arrived – January 1963 – the Jade bay was a frozen landscape and the trees on the causeway
    to the school were crystallised with ice.

      Indeed, 1963 was colder that the memorably cold winter of 1947-48 and only beaten (acc. to UK records) by the winter of 1740. I recall going fishing on a tidal strech of water in 63 and being unable to break the ice!

P.S. For those who can’t wait for their copy to arrive, the Spring issue of New Cavalier can now be viewed on the TWA members’ website.
