OA Day 2007 - 24 June 2007

OA Day this year included a Gaudy Reunion for OAs who left school in the 1990s.  The weather was rather wet, but those who did brave the rain spent an enjoyable day revisiting the School  some bringing their family with them.  Several of their former teachers were also there, along with OAs from other eras also visiting for OA Day.

OA Cambridge Dinner - 12 May 2007 

26 OAs and guests joined the Headmaster and his wife at Clare College, Cambridge for the first ever OA Cambridge Dinner.  The evening started with Evensong which was sung beautifully by the School Chapel Choir who had made the journey up from Aldenham especially.  Evensong was followed by a drinks reception in the Great Hall and dinner in the Small Hall.  The Headmaster toasted the School and Alan Grieve (S40-45) replied on behalf of the OAs.  Ceri Davis (P2003-05 & Clare College) and the Catering Staff at Clare College did a fabulous job of hosting the dinner and we hope it will be repeated in the future.  

 Halford Hewitt Golf Tournament - 29 March 2007

The Old Aldenhamian Golf Society has just returned from its annual participation in the Halford Hewitt Golf Tournament. This is played at Royal St Georges and Royal Cinq Ports Golf Clubs in Kent - 64 Public School Old Boy teams of 10 aside - a unique golfing occasion and the largest Amateur golf tournament in the world. 
This year we had 32 people attending and our team was: 

Simon Radin (K1978-83) & Jason Clemow (K1985-90)

Rob Alter (B1988-91) & David Rawlinson (B1988-93)  - sub in 2nd round Guy Green (S1971-73) Adam Thrussell (B1992-97) & Ben Thrussell (B1989-94)

Peter Easby (S1962-66) & Richard Grun (K2002-04), Shon Williams (M1975-80) & Nicky Corbett (M1989-94)

The team picture left to right are as follows:
Back Row: Peter Easby (partly hidden),Adam Thrussell, Headmaster, David Rawlinson,Ben Thrussell(hidden),Shon Williams.
Front Row: Jason Clemow, Richard Grun, Rob Alter, Nick Corbett, Simon Radin, with a recumbent Bob Aram.

We were drawn to play St Bees in the first round and the team were clearly inspired by the presence of James Fowler (the Headmaster). We won 4-1.  In the second round we were drawn against a strong Kings Canterbury team, who were fielding 7 local Royal St Georges members - we lost to them 3 1/2 - 1 1/2. The eventual winners were Watsons who defeated Epsom in the final.

A good time was had by all. If anyone is interested in joining the party at Deal each year for this event (or indeed any of the events of OAGS) they should contact Peter Easby - email address is peter_easby@mailforce.net.

Chepstow Regional Lunch - 24 February 2007

Back in February a very select gathering of six OAs joined the Headmaster and his wife for a very convivial lunch at the Afon Gwy Restaurant, in Bridge Street, Chepstow.  Theo White (B54-59) produced an album of Aldenham Photos given to his grandfather, Felix White (S1885-91), in 1891 by H J McGill.  Felix was amazingly one of eight brothers who attended Aldenham - can anyone beat that?
