Cranleigh’s burgeoning reputation as a major cricket school received a massive boost when Stuart Meaker (North, 2007) became the first Old Cranleighan to play cricket for England when he appeared in the final two one-day internationals in India in October.

Seventeen OCs attended the inaugural meeting of the Media Society at Landmark House in the City (69 Leadenhall Street) on July 5.
