As usual a great social day for OCs, ex members of Common Room and families is planned.
Partly thanks to Jamie Taylor (1 North, 1972), the nephew of OC John Mark who lit the Olympic Flame in 1948, we plan a celebratory exhibition. OC Olympians will be featured, as well (we hope) as film owned by John Mark’s family, the torch, his medal and his tracksuit top.
Provisional Programme
11.15 am Reception in the Quad.
12.15 am The new Organ and School Choir: Bach Concert in
Chapel (replacing the OC Service this year)
12.45 pm Choice of Lunch in Hall, Hog Roast on Jubilee (both on the house), or your own picnic in the grounds.
1.00 pm Cricket (OCs v School), Boys’ and Girls’ Hockey (OCs v School), etc. Activity Tent and Bouncy Castle for the even younger, plus beer tent and ice creams and tours. OC Merchandise on sale, with special prices for the day.
In addition, Special Year Reunions (with reserved tables in Hall and an afternoon Champagne and canapés reception in the Pavilion) will be held for all those that left in 2002, 1992, 1972 and 1962, marking 10, 20, 40 and 50 years since leaving. The equivalent last year was a great success. Please contact the following:-
For 2002 Sam Worthy (sam_worthy@hotmail.com)
For 1992 Anna Webster (anna_webster@hotmail.com), Donald Young (donaldyn@globalnet.co.uk), Andy Geogehan (andrewg@theoldgroup.co.uk)
For 1972 Jamie Taylor (jamie@theleaffoundation.org)
For 1962 Chris Phillips (ctf.phillips11@gmail.com).
Round up your friends and come. If you plan to, and would like to have complimentary lunch catered for you rather than bring a picnic, please could you let Mike Payne know (with all names) as soon as possible and let him know too whether you want him to book you lunch in the Dining Hall or a delicious Hog Roast by Jubilee.
