'''Hallmark August 1986.   Letter to the editor'''

Walton House, Walton Street,

Aylesbury

Dear Mr. Janes,

May I use your letters column to thank Supporters of the coffee morning on 24th September in aid of the Aylesbury and District Victim Support Scheme.  Over £80 was raised and my thanks go to all who gave of their culinary or horticultural skills, the contents of their cupboards, their hard-earned cash and especially of their time.

The scheme has been in existence for several years, but has recently been expanded to meet the increasing needs of the community. All "supporters" are volunteers, and after referral from the police, can offer advice and practical help to victims of crime, (especially victims of burglary, "mugging" or assault).

Forthcoming events for the A.D.V.S.S. include, on 15th November in Lacey Green Village Hall, an "Open Book" presentation of words and music, and on 25th November an Open Meeting in Aylesbury District Council Offices, chaired by the Lord Lieutenant of Bucks, and addressed by the High Sheriff.

Yours sincerely,

Jane Tyrer. 

A.D.V.S.S. Fundraiser

'''In 1992 an item was published in Hallmark''' reporting a meeting by Clem Brown which he held with Chris Tyrer -

His Honour Judge C.J.M. Tyrer, lives in Loosley Row. Recently I had the pleasure of meeting him and his wife Jane, also the charming children Rebecca and David.

Christopher Tyrer is a circuit judge whose specialities are largely non-criminal cases.  He is designated a 'family' judge concerned with civil and family litigation in Bucks and beyond, engaged in the High Court several times each week.

After an agreeable chat I concluded that Mr Tyrer always wanted to be a judge, and indeed when he was appointed he was the youngest of them all at the age of 44. But he is not yet out of his forties and I would wager that he has a considerable career before him.

He was educated at Wellington and took an interest in law in teenage years, going on to read law at Bristol University, then accepted into the Inner Temple, London, as an undergraduate at the age of 20.  Pupilage in chambers followed. Mr Tyrer was appointed a judge in 1989 after experience as a Recorder.

I asked Mr Tyrer whether he had wanted to take Silk, for in my innocence I supposed this to be the ultimate in legal kudos. But no: he preferred the prospect of his everyday work, pointing out that he did not wish to stay too long at the Bar.  As for many of us, there are options and we have to choose, and Mr Tyrer did what was best, having in mind the demands and love of a young family.

Later this year Christopher Tyrer will face a four-week stint at the Old Bailey just in case you think that famous place is exclusively concerned with murderers and terrorists, may I remind you that it is a Crown Court for London, much of its resource devoted to general criminal trials.

Like many of us, my friendly judge and his family take an interest in local affairs.  He was formerly a governor of St.John's School and now has such a responsibility at Speen. Mr Tyrer joined the choir at St.John's Church and is an enthusiastic supporter of [[Lacey Green Productions]]' dramatic events - in recent times "Blitz" and "Alice". As for the latter, do you remember him as the caterpillar sitting on his mushroom and entertaining us with his sagacious remarks from the right corner of the stage?
