We rechecked the name of this tournament with BCS, and we are informed that it is correctly called the “Maj. R. K. von Goldstein Cricket Tournament“. The re-correction has been made above to the title of this article accordingly as well.

It should be without the “major” and “von” should all be in lower case!! Goldy should have had a debating society named after him and not a sporting event. He was a charming talker alright but his tenure ended in a steep decline in standards !!

If truth be told, Fred Brown did much more than any Headmaster or teacher in the last 50 years to build the image and the culture of BCS. He was an iconic figure and loved by both students and staff alike. It is a pity and a shame that qualifications came in the way of his being given the position of Headmaster when experience and commitment should have counted for more. We have nothing in the School named after him. May be the staff common room, now being renovated with funds from the class of 1962, should be named the Fred Brown Staff Common Room !!
