We are sad to report the death of Nic Pickard (M59) who will be long remembered as a member of the band Holy Black doing vocals, guitar, keyboards & trumpet. He wrote an African rock opera "Nongawuza" with John McBeth before moving to Australia where Holy Black was in residence for a year at Whiskey-A-Go-Go, reputedly the biggest night club in the southern hemisphere. Nic returned to Africa and in addition to be very active at REPS became a successful producer, later running a studio of his own in Johannesburg, writing jingles and television theme music.
Jason Mackie (P02) It is with deep regret that we report that Jason was killed instantly in action in Afghanistan on 14 May 2009 aged 21.

At the time of his death Jason was serving as a Viking All Terrain Vehicle Operator in 3rd Armoured Support Troop of the Armoured Support Group, Royal Marines.
