Chefoo was established by the China Inland Mission at Chefoo (Yantai) in Northern China to provide an education for the children of missionaries and the business and diplomatic communities. In 1951 the school left China to relocate in South East Asia. Two Chefoo Schools are currently operating as junior schools in Japan and Malaysia under the Overseas Missionary Fellowship.

“...the end of an era, and when the 21st century dawns there will not be many left.
This points to two things. First, we must record for posterity as much of that Chefoo era as we can. We will be glad to have photos and articles about the school life at Chefoo. We will also welcome archival material, which will be kept as a distinct section of the OMF archives - carefully classified and professionally done.
Second, to ensure a smooth transition from the leadership of 'Chefoo Chefusians' to the Chefusians of the post war Chefoo Schools we need to bring on to our Branch Committees former scholars of this second category, and gradually give them the leadership of the CSA. In the Great Britain Branch Dorothy Cox and Tim Reynolds are already playing an important role. We are anxious to receive articles and photos on the post war Chefoo Schools, so that material is well balanced between the old and the new.

“...Chefoo week-ends and then the post-war years of the 40's with our booming Winter Reunions at the C. I.M. In Newington Green. May God continue to bless and use the Association to His glory. I am now on the 87 mark and have much to thank God for. I am still living on here alone In my bungalow In Falrllght, East Sussex since my wife's Home-call In July 1984. Healthwise, a torn leg muscle somewhat diminishes my mobility but I still get around In my car; also, I have so many helpful friends here. My elder 6on Peter died in May 1988 but I still see my younger 6on Michael, now finance director of Thos Cook’s In Peterborough, and other members of our family Including grandchildren and great-grandchildren, from time to time. Other members of the Joyce manage are to be found in Canada and I enjoyed my visit to them in 1985. Some of them have been to visit me here.
