St Peter's Anglican Church, Hamilton
Hundreds of children were on the march, a
more-or-less orderly line snaking its way from St Peter’s Anglican Church to
Hamilton Station. At the front, two children held a wavering church banner
aloft. They were off to the annual Sunday School picnic at Speers Point, the
highlight of the year.
First, they would catch the train to Cockle
Creek, then a steam tram to Speers Point. The event would have been an exciting
adventure for children whose families did not own cars, and who walked
everywhere within their suburb, Hamilton.

When I first heard Colin Chapman’s
name spoken, it was in reverential tones. ‘Of
course, you know of Colin Chapman.’ I didn’t, then – but now I understand
the reason for the revered expression.
Most of us are fortunate if we know
one person like Colin Chapman in our lifetime.
Colin Chapman was a singer, teacher,
conductor, producer, director, actor and playwright. A leader and a visionary,
he was able to gather round him others who shared his vision and were prepared
to personally volunteer their skills, effort and time to achieving it.
