Sir John was a Patron of C.O.T.E. Christian Outreach Trust for Epsom. He was Chairman of the C.O.T.E Coffee House Board, which is responsible for running the Dovecote Coffee House in South Street, Epsom. Sir John was very interested in C.O.T.E. and was a frequent visitor to the Coffee House, and was often found helping practically with the washing-up as the need demanded. As well as being a local Magistrate Sir John served as Deputy Lieutenant of the County of Surrey. Sir John's funeral service was held at St. Martins and was attended by hundreds of people expressing their respect and love for a highly respected member of the community.

The Club Records for the years prior to 1959 have
been lost. Most of the books vanished for ever during the War years. You
will notice there are huge gaps in the records. Although some
information has been gathered from the senior Club members and from the
descendants of former Masters it has proved impossible to be sure of all
who occupied the Chair in many of these earlier years. The official and
social activities of the Club during those years are also lost to us. |
