Angus Young (Loveday, 2009-14) writes: The cycling was an end to end trip from John O’Groats to Land’s End, named Exercise Blue JOGLE. It involved six of us cycling on a triplet, a tandem and a single bike. We called it 3-2-1. Over the summer holidays and into the Michaelmas Term, many Old Cranleighans have […]

Stephen Kent (2&3 South, 1961-1966) writes: “My wife and I had lunch with Jonathan Farmer and his wife some time ago and we had a fabulously nostalgic time reminiscing about our time at Cranleigh. Both he and I were at Cranleigh from 1961 to 1966. Jonathan told me about attempts he had made to see […]

One of the pleasures of the term has been meeting Old Cranleighans at the various reunions. The term began with Andrew Roberts’ (East 1976-1981) riveting lecture on Napoleon, with many OCs supporting. Five generations of the Roberts have attended the School and been a part of the Cranleigh family for most of its 150 years. […]

11 April was a red letter day for our golfers. We reached the quarter-finals of the Halford Hewitt for the first time for many years. This was after victories over Blundell’s (3-2), Harrow (3-2) and Downside (4-1). We then lost a desperately close match against Watson’s by 3 matches to 2, denied by a 15-foot […]

Twenty-three met at the Onslow Arms in West Clandon for an excellent and convivial lunch before proceeding to the National Trust property nearby, Hatchlands House. We had planned to visit Clandon House, but as many of you will know, it was really tragically burnt down on 29 April. Hatchlands was a fortunate replacement, with much […]
