James Maberly (Alfie, Sickle,
James ol' chap) : Lloyd 1970-74; being both gangly and
uncoordinated, I was never the idealised Plumtree all-rounder but
was known to become an animal during house rugby matches.My
academic 'zenith' was achieving 3% for a Latin exam one term, as
a result of which I was swiftly shifted to the art room - one of
the smartest moves they ever made. I enjoyed participating in
revues and debates and indeed produced the winning play in the
inter-house play contest, an award that surprised me at the time;
In 1975 I attended the Royal Military Academy of Sandhurst in the
U.K. and served for 4 further years in the Royal Scots Dragoon
Guards. 1980-88, I worked in the transport Industry in Zimbabwe,
South Africa and Botswana before heading back to England to study
Fine Art. 1988-93 saw 5 years of study, and since that date have
been practising as a professional artist working from my studio
at home in England. I have 4 children, one wife (Veronica), a
dog, 4 sheep, 12 bantams, a goldfish, three horses and a camel on
order..... after that we'll call it quits. England. James Maberly <jmab@themutual.net>
