- Sin -- Ron, 07:33:54 01/03/10 Sun
Do u think wen god made the ten commandments he wanted his name used for wars ,,i shall not kill,,,do u think once u have sinned your life will be for ever hell ,if u realised u were bad and wanted to redeam yourself do u think he would ever forgive.he killed everyone who went against his commandments in time so it was writen,,the forever damed.

greetings to Mike Weller,Gary Grayand Steve Humphries, it'sgood to know the OBA is still ticking along. memories of the old school stilllinger both good and bad but it's an experience I wouln't have missed for the world., that first meetting at the "sailors home" in Liverpool right through to the last one when we were "kitted out"for the great though somewhat daunting first trip to sea. My first ship was the S.S. New Texas belonging to Elder Dempster Lines,she was an old coal burner, the engineroom crowd and the catering crowd were all West Africans the deck crowd were white but she was a happy ship.Regards to all O.B's Don. Hope to make it to the reunion one of these days.

I attended the 'INDE' 75/76,I was in Rodney division,can't remember my number now,had a sub-arachnoid brain haemorrage and stroke last year and it's left me with some memory problems but I'm making a steady recovery.I first found this site two years ago but became too ill to make contact.I remember you Steve(Humphreys)and Bill(O'Leary).I joined the Merchant Navy from the 'INDE'.Gary Houldsworth(Para's)joined the 'INDE' with me,we both came from the same part of Manchester. Many years ago I attempted to contact Andrew Geary( Glasgow) but without success,it would be good to hear from him in particular as I have family in Scotland and of course any OB's.

I am looking for Carlos Smith, Roy Craft, Sean Whalley and others!! I left the Indi earlier than expected due to financial reasons (or lack of!!) and Joined the Merchant Navy. After four years I decided to join the Army. I was in the Royal Green Jackets for six years and then the Royal Military Police for six years. After leaving the Army I took time to reflect on my life and decided to put off paid employment to enter university. I read Anthropology at Sussex University and then completed a PGCE (teaching certificate) at Brighton University. I now live and work in the Newton Le Willows area teaching students with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties as well as trying to complete a masters degree at Manchester University. I owe a lot to the Indi and am in the process of joining the IOBA. I have many memories and many images of friends but alas cannot put names to these images. Does anyone have a list of boys in the Indi between 1974 and 1976? OK, that's all for now, hope to hear from someone soon, regards Malcolm

- [Info] http://www.ts-indefatigable-oba.org -- Steve Humphries, 16:53:13 01/31/04 Sat
Indefatigable Website update: Jan/2004 .
Dear Members and Associates,
I would like to draw your attention to the following developments within, 'The Indefatigable OldBoys Association'.
Since our last AGM (May/2003) there have been various modifications and improvements all to be aware of. I would like you Members and Non Members alike to reflect and bring together the true 'Inde Spirit'.
http://www.ts-indefatigable-oba.org
As promised the 'Inde OldBoys' have now a website that we can regularly interact with as a common focal point and not 'all over the place' as we have been.
The main aims of the Indefatigable site will be to:
1. Publish details of the 'INDE' and her proud history, traditions and influence as a point of reference and research to anyone in the world with an interest in maritime history.
2. To assist relatives or friends in search for information to find out more about what shaped those Boys of the Indefatigable.
3. Act as a focal point for THE INDE for those who want to communicate with others via the email system.
4. Provide information about the INDE OBA and encourage membership.
5. Promote links with similar organisations around the world.
The site isn't in its infancy but could be further enhanced, it's your input that counts. We have had this site developed in a way that's refreshing, more appealing for all ages and so that you keep coming back. I'm sure you've heard of those 'reunited' sites, well this one's yours 'INDEFATIGABLE-REUNITED' need I say more.
It doesn't end there,
For those of you who are 'paid up' members, in the coming week you will receive an all NEW Newsletter, which you'll receive twice a year, so look out for it!
You will start to see New Logos, attached to all media's. The best symbols / icons have been used from the past and pulled together to form an all-new professional image.
(Note: Logos are still for full approval by the members at this years AGM, 5th/June)
To commemorate the 'OldBoys 21st Anniversary' (incidentally being this year) it is hoped that by the summer a 300 page NEW Book of the Life and Times of the INDEFATIGABLE will be written by The Rev Canon D. Evans, sponsored by the Missions to Seamen Liverpool. To get this off the ground, we request your participation - stories you may have already sent in to us before however long or short, or maybe you just want to get something off your chest after all those years, go on!!
(Send to my postal address, you'll find way way below)

- Ancestry -- Richard Knott, 13:42:58 11/08/05 Tue
Sometime between 1865 and 1914, when the 4th HMS Indefatigable was turned into a training ship, my great grandfather, Oliver James Knott, was Chief Seamanship Instructor on board. Does anybody have any further information regarding his life or any records kept about the TS at that time?
If so would be great to hear from you as I'm researching family history.
Thanks,
Richard Knott

- T.S. Indefatigable Old Boys Association: UPDATE JULY 2006 -- Steve Humphries 75/76, 21:00:48 07/01/06 Sat
T.S. Indefatigable Old Boys Association: UPDATE JULY 2006
A month on from this years IOBA Reunion, I thought you should be informed of the following forthcoming events and changes. Please accept my apologies if you have already recieved this email, through another way.
We have a new Chairman; BILL O’LEARY 74/76 - Colonel WJ O’Leary TD.
Bill's background: In a civilian capacity, Bill is the Business Development Manager for an international automotive supplier, specialising in plastics. In his second career he is a Colonel in the Territorial Army, currently holding the post of Colonel Territorial Army Recruiting. Prior to taking up this post, he was the TA Colonel in Land Command, which commands the JSMTC Indefatigable. Through this link, and with a little ‘command pressure’ he has been able to move a little way back towards the good old days, of holding AGM events within the school grounds. With a bit of sensitivity and by taking things one step at a time, maybe in the not too distant future we will be able to have our dinner there as well? Bill is currently the Chairman of both Territorial Army Golf, and Territorial Army Shooting, and also Chairman of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers Golf Association. Additionally, sits on the Oxfordshire Reserve Forces and Cadets Association as a Military Member and involved heavily with the cadet youth movements.
The INDEFATIGABLE AWARD 2006.
As an outcome of this years AGM, we will be making an annual donation to the Sea Cadet Corps (£700 to date). This year £600 will be forwarded direct from IOBA funds, along with another £100 very generously (privately) given. It's hoped to aim between £500 - £1000 year on year to the Sea Cadet Unit deemed by the Sea Cadet Corps HQ, to have made the most significant improvement over the previous 12 months (NATIONALLY). Additionally, we will award one of our own cups 'The Navy League Challenge Swimming Trophy' to the winning unit, but this is to be still held centrally at JSMTC (The Old School), and can be used by the winning unit for such events that warrant it, such as dinner nights.
AROUND THE WORLD CLIPPER RACE 05-06.
For those of you that have been following the Race; The Clipper Race returns to Liverpool (along with the IOBA PENNANT) on 29th July, after 35,000 miles, 300 days of intense competition, 10 cities, one winner. Why not join the crowds on Liverpool's World Heritage waterfront and competitors for the finish of one of the world's most thrilling maritime events. I'm unable to be there this time - family commitments.
29/07/2006: Begins 12:00.
YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO; MERCHANT NAVY DAY - LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY 3rd SEPTEMBER.
Annual Merchant Navy Memorial service held at the Liverpool parish church ‘Our Lady and St Nicholas’.
In commemoration of 30,000 British Merchant Sailors who have sacrificed their lives, we would like to invite you, to be with us at this event. There will be a parade of Merchant Navy Standards and Standards of other Associations (IOBA), followed by serving and retired Merchant Seafarers with other Organisations. This Annual service is held on the Sunday nearest to Merchant Navy Day, 3rd September, in memory of Merchant Seafarers who died in World Wars I and II and in conflicts up to the present day.
03/06/2006 - Liverpool. Please email me for more info / accommodation and why not come along to meet our NEW Chairman!
YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO; The Indefatigable Old Boys Annual Reunion & Dinner 9th JUNE 2007.
At The Carreg Bran Hotel, Llanfairpwl, Anglesey. (Next to the old school)
Tel: 01248 714224
Remember to fill in somewhere - Saturday 9th June 2007
Numbers attending this year (03/06/06), were slightly down on last year, and some of this was as a direct result of the poor condition of the rooms, at the Carreg Bran Hotel and poor quality of the food supplied in previous years. Members have actually written to us, to say that they would no longer support Reunion Day until something was done on the accommodation front. BUT, what a change this year! I can say, with NEW management at the Carreg Bran , it has started to show great improvements and I for one can’t wait to see the raised standards next year.
That's it for this UPDATE. Should you wish to contact any of us, please do so.

- Inde 1971-1972 -- Bill Murdoch No 8 Drake, 17:40:55 10/07/04 Thu
Hi I was at the inde for some 18 months before joining the royal navy. I have visit Anglesey a few times with my son, and have told him many good times I had there. If there is any one that remembers us drop us a line. Does anyone remember that ex marine instructor who used to deal with the kit issues and every lunch time he would give us a lecture on lost of kit and the state of the dorms.

- Finding an ex shipmate -- John Singleton, 17:14:12 06/16/06 Fri
I would like to contact an ex Inde boy who joined the Bank Line vessel "Laurelbank at Billingham on 24th March 1965 as a deck apprentice. I cant remember his name but his nickname was Leonardo (first name may have been Leonard). He came from Yorkshire (Scarbough). The Laurelbank was his first ship after leaving the training ship. I was the other first trip apprentice on board and was from the "Arethusa" so we had something in common. It would be great to get in touch after so long - I live in Australia now and am retired. If anyone can help me it would be appreciated.

- THE BOOK -- Steve Humphries, 21:20:11 01/04/05 Tue
Indefatigable and National Sea Training School for Boys,
1864 – 1995.
Rev Canon Bob Evans: Brand new Title.
The INDE
From a very fortunate meeting two years ago, I first met Canon Bob Evans and Chaplin Roy Paul - Mersey Mission to Seaman, at an Indefatigable Old Boys reunion promoting one of Bob’s books ‘The Training Ships of Liverpool’. Although Indefatigable had been previously included in the ‘Training Ships’ book, I knew we had to have Bob write the much fuller account of our story and history and most of all about us the Trainees.
As a boy I had no doubt that I wanted to go to sea, from Sea Cadets in North London (TS Barossa), to Anglesey THE INDEFATIGABLE, which was the making of me and now although the School has subsequently closed, I have always considered it to be my spiritual home which I’ve since discovered holds the same meaning to so many others!
Many of the Boys who attended this School gave up their lives defending the UK as members of the Merchant Navy and Armed Services and this book is dedicated to all her Trainees and Staff of ‘THE INDE’.
Bob Evans takes us back on-board the ‘Inde’, he has woven a story of personal experiences to meet the boys of old and the masters who steered us through tough discipline but with the utmost respect, taught us to identify and help others who were not so fortunate.
The book is written by and on behalf of those who were at the Indefatigable, by Canon Bob Evans, who quotes, “This is one hell of a story”. This book is about the boys and their successors, it’s their story, and there has never been a book exclusively on the Training Ship Indefatigable and School.
This is a unique occasion and a memorable event that many have participated in. The Indefatigable Old Boys Association is proud for what Bob Evans has unlocked. I know you will enjoy our story.
Forever the Inde!

- B-) Inde: New IOBA Pennant. -- Steve Humphries 75/76, 12:15:44 09/23/05 Fri
Inde: New IOBA Pennant.
To all website contacts,
New IOBA Pennant;Last weekend a few of us from the IOBA saw the start of the 'Clipper 05-06 Round The World Race' leave from Liverpool. To continue the awareness of our association, one of the crew members sailing on the yacht called the 'Liverpool Clipper' has very kindly offered to fly our new pennant whist on board most legs of the race. The IOBA has had 30 pennants made up, which are available to all members at £20 each. I can send a JPEG picture of the pennant to you, should you wish to have one? Check race route on
www.clipper ventures.co.uk/n05_06/homepage.php
How about ordering the NEW Inde Book in time for Christmas?
The INDE OBA is in a joint funding partnership with 'The Mersey Mission to Seafarers' Liverpool, which has taken two years to collate. Although Indefatigable has been previously included in a book entitled 'The Training Ships of Liverpool' by Bob Evans, this book is a much fuller account of the Ships / School and us. This is our story, there has never been a book exclusively on INDEFATIGABLE and there never will be again. The book is dedicated to all Indefatigable OB's & Staff - in other words, YOU!
Please eMail me for book order details.
If you require any more information regarding the INDEFATIGABLE OBA Association (IOBA), please contact me anytime. Please mark down somewhere, next year's reunion Saturday June 3rd 2006.
