Fellow Otago University Rugby Club & St Peter’s School Cambridge old boy Kendrick Lynn was today named in the 2009 Highlanders Team. Kendrick has always shown huge potential on the Rugby field as a centre, fullback and wing. I was fortunate to have had played with Kendrick in the 1st XV at St Peter’s in 2000 and with the Otago University Colts Blues in 2002. Kendrick then went on to play for the University A’s where he won the Premier Championship in 2004 and 2005.

Kendrick has also completed a Bachelor in Physical Education and Commerce (Management) from the University of Otago as well as a diploma in Valuation from Massey University.

Our share investment company Chicken Stock Group Limited has just completed its purchase of Scott Technology shares which is a local public company in based in Dunedin. Earlier this year my Otago MBA syndicate studied Scott’s as part of our Financial Accounting case study report paper. After establishing that although Scott Technology is small compared to it international competition, with its large amount of cash reserves and innovative history this company is well positioned to take on international contracts that the larger firms have pulled back from. Thanks to the support of our broker Peter McIntyre from ABN AMRO Craigs, Chicken Stock Group also has shares in the New Zealand Agricultural sector as well as Australian Health care. I formed Chicken Stock Group Limited two years ago with four other friends that attended St Peter’s School in Cambridge.

It was great to be able to attend my first Alumni AGM of St Peter’s School, Cambridge on the weekend. It has been a long time since I have been back to have a good look around at all the new buildings and facilities. Friend and fellow CSG director Hugh Taylor was voted onto the committee to represent our year. I am now looking forward to the next event which will be the Otago University reunion of St Peter’s School Alumni in August at Eureka Bar & Cafe, Dunedin. 

I am looking forward to attending the Alumni AGM which is scheduled for Saturday, 12 April 2008 2:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. in the Robb Sports Centre meeting room. This will be my first appearance on the committee, I look forward to getting involved. St Peter’s School has grown significantly since I finished my last year in 2001 with many new buildings and double the role.
